Outer stillness accompanied by rapid eye movements as your amateur diagnosis hits.

Cold Read1 + 6 = 7 / ≥ 10

She can tell you're smoothing it over for her.

She's fading. No sleep. Three, maybe four days now.

She would. She will.

A quick, apologetic smile.

Cold Read1 + 6 = 7 / ≥ 10

The sound of his own voice makes him wince.

Complicated subject matter.

His eyes, very carefully, do not flick towards the ladder.

Cold Read1 + 6 = 7 / ≥ 10

His lips ready themselves for a pretend smile.

Abject disappointment. Her response is all he's been thinking about since he put himself at your mercy.

This is her Brave Face, for your sake.
