With the cease of footsteps, the intruder freezes. nothing quite like making a man second-guess his perceptiveness in a closed area like doing the opposite. careful of the placement of shadows that are cast by the lights, she sinks in & partially retreats.
Amber eyes are fixated on the direction of the visitor’s sound, & time seems to stand still as the intruder was a mere 3 books away from gaining the knowledge she sought. she’s so close, but so far from her goal all the same, unknowing of what punishment the demigod would place if he were to catch her in one of his most favored buildings... if he catches her.
Like a mouse to a patrolling feline, evelynn bides her time, waiting for the visitor’s next movements. she will flee, if she absolutely must, but her return will be inevitable for what she intentionally came for.
