[The look he pins her beneath leaves Lup just burning, her strong pulse thudding in her ears. Her whole entire body is suddenly so acutely aware of how close Barry is to her, of how he bends in towards her smaller body, almost near enough that she can feel the heat rising off of him, the soft tickle of his breath against her skin.

Lup isn't entirely certain how to interpret his reaction, if it's worry about herself or about him or some weird monster/human bias, so the woman reacts in the way she knows best. She meets his gaze head on, throwing back her thin shoulders and raising her strong chin. He may be significantly taller than her, but Lup and her twin have always simply had a way of making themselves look bigger, more important than they actually were.]

Trust me, big guy. I know what I'm in for an' I sure as heck wouldn't offer if I wasn't absolutely certain. [She meets his eyes with that same look, casual and determined, just a slightest touch of defiance brewing beneath the surface. Lup was clearly a woman who pushed back when told to be careful. It just made her want to fall straight on into bigger danger.]

I know what I'm about and I can handle myself. The real q here is if you can handle me.
