They themselves aren't a surprise, and she doesn't pretend like they are, exhaling slowly and nodding. What is surprising is that he's willing to make himself vulnerable like that. He could've just told her his eyes were fake, and that would have been enough, admitting that weakness. But he hadn't. He'd taken them out, put himself at a massive disadvantage, and she could fuck him up good right now if she wanted to.
She steps forward, tentatively peering down, taking the opportunity to get a better look now that it doesn't feel like she's staring at him. She makes as much noise as she can while she does it. There's no reason to make him worry that she's sneaking up on him or about to attack. ]
