[Ben jumps like he's seen a ghost when Kira snarls, catching himself on the doorframe and staring with wide eyes. He cannot even begin to guess what is going on but -- some deep pit forms in his stomach that coaxes his heart to hammer in fear. Instinct tells him to back away -- slowly, so as to not draw her attention (or the attention of whatever was spying upon her).
But the empathetic part of him doesn't want to leave. The empathetic part of him wants to check and make sure she is ok. What he ends up with is ... still being frozen in the door for longer then he has any right to be.
Eventually, he leans a bit closer, his conflict visible in his expression. What does he do?]
