The woman behind the desk looked up as Keane entered.
"Close the door."
The Guild officer did so, then remained beside it while Keane walked farther into the room.
The woman was reading a report it seemed, and she didn't look particularly interested in the fact that someone had just entered, at least not until she put the papers down and raised her eyes toward him.
The moment she looked at him, Keane stopped, something about her immediately put him on guard.
It wasn't just her gaze, though that was sharp enough, he couldn't explain it, it was like she could have his head at the blink of an eye, and almost as if she was about to, just barely being restrained.
Her equipment was similarly unusual.
She had on light armor fitted close to her body, with very little unnecessary protection. A hefty sword rested on the wall just beside her, positioned for a quick draw even though she was supposed to be in a safe space.
