I think she acted like that because she was very stressed and at that moment she was just thinking of keeping arhad's identity a secret.
and all she could do is keep arhad away from her because dimitri knows her real identity.
It would be better to use indirect method of communication, but also hide the reason why she's avoiding him because it might "burden" Arhad.
and according to Ianna's personality. Yes that's what she'll do
I love Ianna and I understand she's avoiding Arhad in order to protect him but.... isn't making a point of avoiding and rejecting a specific person super suspicious? Would it not make more sense to socialize normally, so no one person stands out, or maybe avoid everyone equally? I mean, if I saw someone I was spying on slap another person's hand away like that, I would definitely wonder why they didn't want to be around that person specifically and why that person was treated differently from everyone else.
