She didn't like it.
Zhi stilled, stood there for a moment with her back to him. She couldn't control her expression right then, and her tail moved for her. Back and forth, back and forth: just the tip.
She didn't like the way the bag of coin sounded.
Head turning, she looked back at him, a congenial, sassy little smile pulling her lips to one side.
She didn't like the way his voice sounded.
Putting all of her weight on her left foot, she slowly spun around to face him, giving him a slow up-and-down appraisal.
She didn't like the way he looked.

"Ye have me attention."
