[ Mutinous is a word she has yet to properly encounter, but that is precisely the word to describe the look on her face when unseen forces undo her improvised plan. When she whirls around, there is a distinct moment of surprise ( shock, really ) at the sight of Father Aidan Clayce with his eyes leveled on her own.
She barely registers the headmistress, only somewhat notes with the quick darting of her gaze, one oddly amused-looking Calintz Duskrider ( she knows him, she likes Calintz, why couldn't they have stayed at the Heartnet-Duskrider house instead of where her snooty Uncle Nathaniel barely even acknowledges her mother when they sit down for dinner at home ) before her eyes turn back to the boy and then up to Father Clayce who is looking at her like she were a bug.
She crosses her arms then.
He's not so scary ( yes, Maggie, that is totally not your lower lip trembling just a smidge ) -- she's seen scary.
And besides. He's Renae's favorite. Not hers.
If it were Alistair giving that look, it would be a completely different thing.
IT IS THE BEST USERNAME and i cannot take credit for it sob

Her chin juts out a little at that. ]
