Perhaps they could tell that she did a great job of putting him at ease and controlling his mood, and an even greater job of teaching him to keep his mouth shut.

His mismatched eyes of blue and gold followed Jaques as he left the room, immediately suspicious of the man. While he had caught on to the man's uneasy demeanor that was not unlike his own, Val had to remember that they were severely outnumbered should anything happen.
