Holding firmly to the door, he wasn’t expecting her to actually try opening it. The door moved awkwardly, as he only took one step forward to compensate for the pull. Um..... Moving both hands to one side, he tried to let the thing open more or less like it used to. With the weight no longer evenly displaced though.. it just.... kinda hung at an angle.

“You were acting so strange!” He raised his own voice, but not quite to the levels she’d obtained. The ensemble she’d thrown together unfortunately highlighting her still fairly exposed legs. They were toned, probably from all the combat training, and physical activity... and... wait.. look up.

“.. But.. you see... if I knocked.. “ Then you’d know I was here, and you’d be prepared for it. If you are a psycho right now, you’d hide evidence. Yeah, he couldn’t say that. “So I’m a little impulsive, and my imagination ran away with me. I just wanted to know if you were alright...”.

This time he tried to survey both her and the room for clues. He needed to remember why he was here and not let this opportunity go to waste.
