While he didn't have much of a sixth sense about most things, Mitch was getting edgy vibes from Morana... It could have just been the nervousness, which was obvious from the beginning, but it just felt like it was more than that this time. Was she... was she really afraid of him? She was still new to socializing with people. He should have been more considerate of that fact, more sensitive and patient. 'Am I standin' too close? Movin' too fast?'
As much as he wanted to know what was wrong, Mitch kept absolutely still until she took the spoon from him. It was sort of like waiting for a butterfly to land. Sudden movements would probably scare the living daylights out of both of them both at this point.
