She did not calm down in a week.
If anything, she got worse. Whenever he attempted to speak to her, she pretended he wasn't there. She glared at him anytime they came into contact outside of missions and briefings. She even hit harder during sparring sessions and training.
Somehow, no one seemed to notice.
By the end of the second week, she had toned it down and he deemed it safe enough to slip away. This time, he made triple sure that he wasn't followed. When finally saw Kaldur, it was both calming and nerve-wracking.
"Perimeter is secure."
I'm sure of it this time.
"Then we may speak freely."
"How are things on your end?"
"All is well, my father and the others suspect nothing. And you?"
"…She knows."
For the first time in a very long time, Kaldur looked concerned.
"How?"
"She decided that I was a perfect subject for her espionage skills. She was at one of our meetings, and recorded us. She showed me a while back."
"What did she say?"
"She didn't say anything so much as she just looked at me funny."
"And what did she do when she told you."
"Like I said, she glared at me and walked away."
"And that is all she did?"
"Yes, I've never seen her look at anyone like that."
Kaldur features changed from concerned to slightly panicked.
"Then I am afraid you are in danger."
"Danger? Danger of what?"
"Her."
"Are we talking about the same person?"
"Believe me when I tell you that you do not know her as I do. Now listen to me very carefully. You must avoid her at all costs. You should not speak to her without being directly spoken to unless strictly necessary. And above all do not eat anything she prepares for you."
"I'm sorry, what? Are we talking about the same person? 'Cause I'm talking about the girl who wouldn't kill a spider for anything in the world, no matter how much she hates it."
"Then you do not believe me, I take it?"
"Not at all."
"Very well. As they say, 'It is your funeral', my friend."
