Tayrey just quickens her pace. She doesn't even look round, as if she hadn't heard. Yes, she knows Rose had wanted her to meekly take the unasked-for criticism and let her walk off, without right of reply. That wasn't agreeing to disagree. Not even close. Rose wanted her to bend, to conform, to give up what precious little she still had of her own culture - and then acted as if Tayrey were trying to force her to follow Tradeline ways when she simply explained why she behaved as she did. But she hadn't said a single critical thing about the way Rose dressed or what she chose to do in Somnius. Live and let live.
It doesn't matter. The opinion of someone who looks at a qualified and hardworking Tradeline lieutenant and says 'stupid child' is worthless to her. She's no longer interested in trying to clear up any misunderstanding. There are plenty of other people here who value her for who she is. She can forget this one.]
