[Move, her mind screams, but he has her wrist before she can complete her step back. As much as she draws parallels between Randall and Ramsay, there's something much more animistic in the beast before her. Randall was a monster that strutted around in the skin of a gentleman. Ramsay isn't able to pull human off as convincingly, the costume peeling up at the edges. Especially when picked at in just the right spots. She sees it now.
No wonder Theon's so terrified.
For once, the dog is the least of her concerns, and she jumps when he yells. She's determined not to look away. There's fear in her eyes, but the set of her jaw almost dares him to take his knife and do what he wishes. Maim her, kill her. Do it in plain sight. Hopefully the Natha would bring her back in time to spit on whatever remains of his body. She's told enough people about him and she's been very particular about that.
The raised voice and the barking dog has turned some heads and distracted people from their shopping. Claire nearly points it out, reminds him of the consequences, but no matter how much she wants to provoke him he's spooked her voice away.]
