Ouroboros Spine I'm feeling this mistake

It was, perhaps, due to her discomfort that Sialuk hadn't noticed Kaname's direct question. She had been too focused on his predatory circle to really focus on what he'd said, but now that he prompted her again, she realized she hadn't answered him. It didn't necessarily reflect poorly on her, so she merely folded back her ears, still half-standing and ready to move when he stopped his prowling, and said, "Sialuk."

She leveled a questioning gaze on him then, avoiding direct eye contact but otherwise allowing the pressure of her stare to come across fully. She meant no disrespect by it, but intended to make known that she wanted him to back off somewhat, for the circling made her wary still... and though she did nothing out of line for her station, Sialuk carried the air of a woman who tolerated only so much.
