She was watching something far-off and the manner in which she carried herself made Reyes nervous, so he pulled away from the hedge of grass he'd been pruning and drifted by her, nudging at her chin with the crown of his head as he slunk cat-like beneath her; then, as he pirouetted, he looked in the direction she had been staring, but couldn't make out the danger. Her rumbly voice surprised him - his ears pivoted, but he remained silent and sullen, disturbed by the inturruption in his playing.
