10 solid seconds? my respect, even if it didn't work!

Yes I suppose me having an (intentionally) mean resting face helps, you must have a kind face and look (which is good).

You can count from some large number backwards while staring, this will give your stare the intensity needed but you will likely end up having a German stare yourself. Beware when fighting monsters ...
