Nhogai didn't so much as flinch, even as Unzan began reaching for his daggers. Instead he just glowered right back at the male with the same fearless eyes that had been studying him all along, watching the Raen's every movement closely as he angrily spat upon his guest's ungrateful presence.
Though he had expected little else from neither him nor anyone else for that matter, Nhogai surprisingly found his own antagonism quickly subsiding as Unzan spoke. Strangely, both the fury behind his words along with that of his apparent arrangement with Yura had succeeded with stirring a certain degree of doubt within the Xaelan, bringing him almost as far as questioning his own hastiness - although not quite.
Having seemingly exhausted all patience he was willing to offer the warrior, Unzan wasted no time with excusing himself from his presence, leaving only a heavy air behind him. Nhogai's dark gaze followed along behind him in silence - lingering for a few moments upon the empty doorway even after he had disappeared from view.
("So this was your doing...") were the warrior's thoughts as a mildly softer gaze travelled back toward the girl who yet remained in the room with him. Oddly, though far from being the most expressive of changes, there definitely seemed to be a different air about her this time around - something... a little less cold. Curious, he continued to watch her in silence for a few seconds before the same soft voice from before interrupted his thoughts.
“…Do you believe in fate?â€
A sudden and unusual question indeed. Nhogai's brow would furrow slightly, his eyes still locked upon the girl.
"....what are you talking about?" he responded after only a short delay, his uncertainty as to where she was leading with such a question taking precedence over the actual answer.
