Demeanor Quote by Michele Sinclair
““Have you decided upon my character, or do you need more time?" Ranulf challenged. Laon's misty blue gaze surveyed the rolling waves for several seconds before he turned to reply,this time his demeanor and expression solemn. "Your temperament is obvious for the world to see." He paused for a moment as if he were trying to decide whether he should refrain from further explanation or continue.The latter was chosen. "You are neither kind nor giving, and your manner can best be described as impersonal.WHen you do engage, you are rather gruff, although I wonder how much of that is habit or intentional. However,you are fair and respectful, even to those you know little or not at all," Laon finished, pointing at the young deckhand Ranulf had assisted earlier.””
