[ She understands that instinct to turn and lash out, doesn't want to give him any reason to do that because it would defeat almost the entire purpose of this. She refuses to get this far and mess it up now, that would be incredibly frustrating and difficult and she just refuses. So she's being careful, not pushing, not crowding, letting him set the pace and do whatever keeps him comfortable, because he might be letting her tell him what to do with his body for the moment but she's not going to do the same for his mind, ever.
With being attuned to him, and so acutely in this case because she's been looking for every little bit there was, trying to detect the smallest change, the relief is almost overwhelming for a moment there. But it's good, it's really good, and her smile curves up for a little bit. Relief means something's worked at least a little bit, and hopefully it'll continue to work. Hopefully this will all work out just fine. That's what she hopes for most of all. She just wants a solution to this, an explanation and hopefully then an end to that whole moody assholeishness.
Yeah, there's no choice involved in whether she's looking at you or not, but it's not quite the stern determining gaze of before. There's more lightness to it now, more slightly pleased openness of her own, and then after a long moment of just looking at those reactions she starts to move, starts to work at setting a rhythm. ]
