His eyes widened. Something... passed between them with that touch.
They had touched in training before. There was plenty enough to learn that required contact - disarming, several types of hand-to-hand contact. But it wasn't like this.
Maybe it was the warmth of her small hand that he knew could be deadly already. It made his head spin slightly as he followed her motion into the room with his eyes. Even made a step closer. "Natalia..."
He knew he should go. He had told her what she needed-- what he needed her to know. And yet... something wasn't right. And he didn't even know what and how and what he should do about it.
He hated not knowing. Not knowing... not knowing...
"Should I not have come to tell you?"
Something about this situation was not right. He had been correct to give her the extra attention, that much he knew, but that wasn't everything. Something was wrong, disbalanced, and that had nothing to do with orders and acting around them. The question slipped while he was trying to figure out something in the whole mess, but as soon as he uttered it, he wondered if he shouldn't have kept his peace. Would it upset her more?
