[The look Ari gives her now is nothing short of confused. Assumptions? She'd been going by Rose's own words, nothing else. She's the one who asserted that a captor couldn't hurt anyone that badly. She's the one directly comparing Ari to whatever extremely change-averse people it was she'd known in the past, extrapolating from a single data point.
'Don't whine when you break' is laughable in its petty cruelty, and it proves that whatever Rose thinks she knows about Ari Tayrey, she's wrong. Ari had been close to breaking, once. Somnius is an easy little shuttle flight compared to the Serena Eterna. She's happy here. She'd be happier without the few people determined to see the worst in her, but that truly is a minor trouble.
As for calling her a foolish, stubborn child because she won't do what Rose wants? Well, that tells her a lot. She'd misjudged the woman, held her higher in esteem than she deserved. Young Tradeline officers know exactly how to deal with that sort of attitude. Ignore the person, dismiss them as they've clearly dismissed you, and keep right on being competent and capable. Prove them wrong, without expending any extra effort, just by doing your job. Yes. She can do that.]
It's a real pity you can't hear another perspective, agree to disagree and let the issue go, and hold a civil conversation. No matter.
[Bluntly stating an opinion won't bother Ari too much, even if she dislikes it. Pointless rudeness and name-calling, however, she has no time for, so she's done trying to explain her perspective. Rose clearly isn't interested in cross-cultural understanding and accepting their differences. Ari doesn't try to stop the woman from leaving again. Instead, she turns sharply on her heel and heads off in the other direction. She has a patrol route to finish.]
