Prodding Each Other

Alistair studied the rather plain face in front of him.

Rather, it wasn't that he looked plain, but the overall harmony of his features came across as plain.

Yet, there was something strangely soothing about his overall features the more he was stared at. Perhaps it had to do with the rather unique aura he had.

There was just something about this person that was pinging every one of his gut instincts, telling him that he was looking at something that should have been something else.

Alistair tilted his head, thinking hard even as he had his usual mask fixed onto his face.

Strangely, the person in his hands didn't react like a normal person would, either.

Usually, the person would be afflicted with emotions like shock and confusion, or even amusement, but all he could see in this young man's eyes was calmness. It wasn't faked either.
