[She seems to be lost in thought for a moment, and he's not sure what to make of the fact she's looking away, but neither does he pry or press. Embarrassment maybe? She doesn't seem uneasy exactly, but maybe a little awkward.

Darkness pools beneath their feet, seeping from his own shadow and reaching up in tendrils, wrapping around them. The feeling is neither warm nor particularly cold, and doesn't feel like anything at all physically, but the darkness he's wielding is undeniably different from the Darkness haunting Ellipsa. Jinwoo is paying close attention to her reactions, just in case she shows signs of distress or alarm as he's quickly wrapped up in it and it swirls and rises, while the two of them begin to sink down.]
