Puppets of Aarvi

Martin could see Aarvi's serene gaze and feel her calm breathing. She was unfazed as though he was just air. The whole hall fell to pin-drop silence, anticipating like die-hard fans. Elder Harmon clutched the head of the cane, craving to slam that cane on Martin. 

There was another one who was angry and also curious how this was going to end. Leon sat with his back straightened and watched them intently.

Whereas Alex could guess the result of Martin's action. Martin would be swayed in his emotions if Aarvi gives him the same taste of his action. 

Since Martin saw no changes in her, he focused on making her swoon at him. He barely turned his head to the left showing the angle of his face that everyone says best.
