[Well that helps a little. She tries to concentrate back on her book but isn't able to so she finally speaks up.]

Sorry, do you need to get something here? Am I in your way? [She steps away from the shelves so he could pass through if he needed]

[divinating]

[His head stays perfectly still, but his eyes seem to follow her as she moves.]

No need to apologise. As I understand, it was I who would be considered the rude one in this situation. I was merely observing you, so there's no need to feel uncomfortable.

[Yes there is.]

[Yeeaaa that didn't really help. At least he was upfront about it?]

Why are you doing that?

[divinating]

On occassion, I find it refreshing to pinpoint a person and study their actions. Do you find it strange?

[The blunt honest was kind of surprising. She was about to automatically respond 'yes' but she gave the question a little more thought.

Didn't she sometimes do the same? Perhaps not quite in the way that he did but she certainly had her fun charting her friend's relationships, their ideas of romance, what they seemed to look for in a person or relationship.]

I guess not. But with the way you are doing it people might get the wrong idea.

[And he seems so calm as he watches her consider, knowing she had every intention of taking the easy answer. There's a small satisfaction in knowing she's taking the time to think about it.]

If they were to object, it would only serve as more entertainment for my curious mind. In fact, it is incredibly fascinating to note the manner in which reactions vary from person to person.

[moirailcompass]

[This is probably the moment she should walk away but she's curious now]

What diffurent reactions have you gotten?

[divinating]

Fear is generally the most common reaction. Fear which leads to anxiety, apprehension, and the questioning of the situation. Why am is this man staring? What have I done?

Of course, there's always the incredulous expressions and the accusations.
