Sera wasn't sure whether to take Rowan's words as a compliment or not. It made him really suspicious in her eyes. Obviously, it was she he was describing, not Anna. She couldn't help but think he was aware of her identity, but asking him could potentially make the system see him as an enemy.
Sera would rather not fight with Rowan. Since she wasn't sure who Rowan was before her, it was better to keep her guard up. Since he was trying to protect her, perhaps she can keep him as an ally for disposal.
Rowan gazed at her for a long moment before deliberately turning his back to her, walking toward a far-off shelf.
"Find your warding book." He said, his tone sounded flat and neutral. "You know where to find me if you need anything."
