[ Fenris is familiar enough with the fury of the caged creature that he can spy it easily in others; a tension and gravity as familiar to him as his own reflection. He ignores her appraisal when he feels it flowing over his skin; let her make of him what she will. He frowns at his own glass before lifting it high enough that he can soundlessly sip at the sweetness.
His flinty eyes considered her from their corners, likewise appraising. ]
