Yloise immediately stopped her juggling game and gave Tobias a deadpanned look as he got extremely close. She was not uncomfortable, but yet highly aware of him being so intimately close and questioning her. She was at a loss for words. She was very certain that she was not followed, but yet, this man found her and she believed he was after the garnet as well.
She decided against fleeing. He was so close she could not get a good sucker punch before she was apprehended, nor able to distract him away from her with her words. Upon that thought, her face fell in disappointment. She knew she was not able to wiggle her way out of this situation. She looked down at the stone in her open hands and froze for a moment.
Every ilm of her being wanted to strike at him and run, flee and survive. She did enjoy the small amount of conversation that did go along with it, even as coy and full of confidence on his part. But she did not wish him to know this, after all he has her practically cornered, in the round room of the Gold Court.
The only option was to negotiate, and perhaps retain some amount of freedom. The prisons of Ul'dah were not pleasant at all, and she highly anticipated any deals not to go there. Looking defeated, and not lifting her eyes at all, she raised the stone in her hands in offering of peace to Tobias without a word. She had hoped that this might be the end of it, but on holding her breath in anticipation, she was a coward and would not fight and get away.
She waited for a response, gave a moment and looked up from her treasured item, and into those dark eyes of his, even if they were not at the same height The moments now seemed to go by slowly, the passers by would only see two people conversing and not notice anything out of the ordinary for Ul'dah going on.
