If he'd had any doubts as to Isaev's intent, that made things clear. And he wasn't sure if he'd really doubted, but just tried to deny it to himself, instead. Kassian had probably thought would be easier that way, but Isaev had refused to give up.
He found himself suddenly wanting a cigarette, but the alcohol in his blood would have to do.
"I think you're bold, Lieutenant," he answered, holding Isaev's gaze. "And yes, I was looking at you."
Kassian paused, glancing down a moment to finish his last button.
He looked up again, and felt his pulse quicken, feeling exceptionally reckless. "You seem so genial, comrade. You're always talking, joking. Everyone's friend. But underneath, you're not so civilized, are you? You're a hunter, a predator. Until you get what you want, you're relentless."
Kassian stood up then, and regarded Isaev from across the room, his own gaze wolfish. "Am I wrong, Andrei Alexandrovich?"
