Is it just me, or does it seem like Stansfield was creeping on Mathilda in the restroom scene?

In this scene Mathilda is confronted by her enemy for the first time. I believe this is the turning point in her Quest to avenge her brothers death. Up until now Mathilda's revenge has blinded her to the danger she has been pursuing. When she comes face to face with Stansfield, she is frightened and reality sets in fast. She is overwhelmed by the situation she has found herself in and the expression on her face is that of a person that has given up. The fight in her is no longer there and this is where Stansfield raises the level of intimidation. I see nothing creepy about this scene, in terms of Stansfield creeping on Mathilda, only a ruthless villian proving the power he has over her. Again we are reminded of Mathilda's true emotional state of mind, a frightened child alone in the world wanting to be something that she can't possibly be.
