That is plainly news to Sif, whose face cycles rapidly from surprise through anger to uncertainty, the wheel finally spinning to a halt with the arrow just on the border between pleased and irritated and declining to choose between them. "Have you. Well."
The smile she flashes him is more tense than before, but she dips her chin in a nod, "Yes, that is what I wished to talk about. May I?" She gestures at one of the table's chairs and waits rather than assume his permission, the hand she's already spread used now to indicate his map, "We can speak of this another time should that better suit you. If I have interrupted another meeting, I apologize."
She shifts her feet and leans knuckles on the corner of the table, saying, "I apologize too for not being the first to tell you of this. I wished some time to think on the notion myself before I did. And I had not thought that he would." Knuckles rap softly, once, twice, and then caught back to her side before the third down-stroke can fall. "What do you think?"
