Scarlet gazed at Eireen at the corner of her eye; she was uncomfortable in her presence, and she can sense it from the tightness of her posture, down to the tone of her voice. As to why she was uncomfortable, Scarlet had a small inkling as to what it was.

What's more, Eireen was uncomfortable in her presence and she can see it from the straightness of her back and tightness on her expression.
