eyes up
Scans with interest
Eyes up is a command or alert to direct attention forward or upward, often used in sports, military contexts, or classrooms: Eyes up, everyone—this is important.
In British slang, to eye up someone is to look at them with interest, especially sexual interest: He was eyeing up the woman at the bar.
The phrase eyes up here redirects someone's gaze—typically when they're staring at a woman's chest rather than her face.
