Charlie’s eyes flashed to him before pinning her again. “...Robbie, I think we should have a word.”
BIGGEST UNDERSTATEMENT EVER
Perhaps it was because she already knew some of it, or because she knew what to look for, but it felt obvious enough that others must also be able to see it at a first glance: this was a man who knew of things beyond the normal world. Those eyes had looked into both darkness and light, and had been blinded by neither. For all of the tension he carried-no doubt from the day’s unexpected developments and revelations-there was also a reassuring sense of confidence and capability that surrounded him like an almost tangible aura. This was someone who had done difficult things, who would not hesitate to offer a helping hand to another in dire straights. It was a sense that her father had worn occasionally; it had always put her in mind of the ideal knight, someone who lived by a code of honor and justice, who would sacrifice much for others less fortunate. It was arresting and it was reassuring all at once.
If I stare at you long enough, I might be able to absorb your descriptive powers.
