If I hadn't seen his true face last night, hadn't witnessed his ferocity, I'd probably be completely fooled by this act.
I might have even felt a moment of pity, acted impulsively, and taken him under my wing to give him a chance to survive.
Felix Lawrence glared at him. "Hey, kid. We're past the point of introductions. Can you stop making that face at me?"
If he hadn't witnessed the boy's ferocious side, Felix Lawrence wouldn't have found this behavior strange.
But having seen that other, utterly unchildlike side, watching him now put on this innocent, harmless smile was just bizarre.
'Does he really need to keep this up? It's not like I don't know his true nature.'
And we're all familiar with each other now, yet he's still putting on this act. It made him wonder if the boy was plotting something.
Felix Lawrence was a large man, and his expression was stern when he wasn't smiling. Combined with his harsh tone, he looked quite imposing.
