Weekend Writing Warriors for Eight Sentence Sunday

Last week's snippet  was from Starquest, Volume 1 in the Destiny Trilogy (although all three books can be read as 'standalones') introduced Jess, who is rescued from her crippled ship by the starship Destiny, commanded by Jon Quinlan. Gradually she gets to know the crew and grows to like and respect Jon and most of the crew while still being a little unsure of how far she can actually trust them.

Snippet from Chapter 1 of Starquest (slight editing for clarity and to keep within the word count)

Kerry, by contrast to the rest of the crew, was something of an enigma to Jess. She noticed his attitude toward her becoming increasingly cool. Quietly spoken, often taciturn, he was clearly possessed of a brilliant mind. Although slow to volunteer information, if she asked a specific question relating to either the Destiny or Metisa, (the ship's computer) he became completely involved with the subject, explaining simply but precisely. However, she could not persuade him to talk about himself. Naturally this made her all the more curious about him. She frequently felt his scrutiny as if he were waiting for her to give herself away, although she could think of nothing she had said or done to arouse his suspicions. This was not the only thing about Kerry she found disturbing.
