? What is the effect of direct characterization in this line from the passage? "What are those things?" asked the man, his keen black eyes staring at her.

The direct characterization is "keen black eyes." In this context, it makes the man seem curious, cunning and/or perhaps suspicious, as it implies that he is thinking deeply about the situation and the "things."
