[ She's garnering the occasional odd glance as she moves towards the forceful gathering. Her appearance is striking enough as it is, so whatever it is she has planned, Ysayle will stand out in the doing.
So certain is she in her intent that her usually heightened awareness is blind to the approach of a familiar figure. Already run ragged in so strange a city and surrounded by unknown peoples, it means she cannot evade the grasp from seemingly nowhere, and the sudden stop is startling as someone siezes her arm.
Hold? Who would think to command her so? Ysayle looks down at the hand holding her wrist, a thunderous look beginning to form on her face, before she turns on her heel, trying to twist her arm free while facing this interloper proper. ]
Release me! [hardly the tone of an obedient submissive] You cannot mean to--
[ Words stall as Ysayle lifts her gaze and finds it meet Estinien's, then fail entirely at the threshold. Beneath his fingers, the Azure Dragoon might find her pulse flutters, a steady beat too certain and strong to be possessed by any other than the living.
Oh.
(This is, she realises distantly, the first time he has looked at her quite so directly, with no visor lowered between them.) ]
