[After almost five hundred years at each other's sides, there are some things you can just translate from the smallest movement. Nevuillette's brief pause is a clear awaiting signal that he generally employs on those rare days when the Court involves petitioners, and not criminals. Reading his intent and position, Furina steps back to stand beside him--but then turns, to face up towards the sky.
This is what they do when working at their best together, after all: they cover all bases. Even if what Neuvillette is intending to do is aimed at the water below them...if, as he said, it is all connected, there would surely be some sign? And even if there is not...best to look upwards, and see nothing, than stare down with Neuvillette and miss something above.
So tense and ready is she, that Neuvillette's voice cutting off all but makes her jump out of her skin. There's a certain ringing, hollow shock in the silence that follows the sentence ended so abruptly.]
