She immediately moved out of the way when Dimitri arrived; she was impressed by the whistling but meek in his presence.

Her heart rate was still trying to get back to normal after Brutus had startled her. There was a little spark of dread in her when she imagined the hulking monster that must have been waiting behind the door.
