Victoire perked up when she heard the footsteps behind her. She wondered who it was, and hoped for Teddy, but when she turned her head just slightly so she could see who was gaining on her, she frowned slightly. That wasn't the man she wanted to see following her, but it wasn't his fault, and she turned back to the direction she was running.
She wouldn't be the one to start the conversation. She generally avoided men if she could help it. It was the veela in her that made most of them atracted to her, and only strong willed men were immune to that. It ruled out only a very small fraction of the men around this place. She wasn't sure of this man's will, but she wouldn't chance it, even if she could take care of herself if he tried anything.
She also didn't pick up the pace, if something was going to happen it was going to happen, and she didn't want it to ruin her run. For all she knew it was only going to be a nice encounter, and possibly a running partner that might make Teddy jealous enough to get up in the morning.
