Provide an appropriate perception check for the following situation:

You walk into the Student
Union to meet Brandy for lunch. When you sit down at the table, Brandy turns away from you,
averts her eyes, says she isn't hungry, and gives only brief replies to your comments.
What will be an ideal response?

* A perception check needs to focus on your interpretation of Brandy's emotional state.
* A simple perception check would be, "Brandy, your body language and your lack of
responsiveness to me seem like you're angry or upset. What's up?"
