Hey, I could use the same rebuttal for you, you know. You've got a dangerously sharp tongue to be barking instructions around someone in service to another lord.
[Thank god he's used to dealing with someone who is also mean, so he just huffs, half in good-nature and half just exasperated. But his tone isn't cruel, only just slightly flippant.]
When it's all you know for over sixteen years, it's hard not to just do it automatically. But I'll watch my tongue, alright? I don't want to offend you.
My sharp tongue is equal opportunity and it would not be the first time it's gotten me into trouble.
[she's pretty casual about that too, unbothered. it seems that this is just the way she is and she has no particular concern about changing it.]
But for what it's worth, you'd have to try a lot harder to offend me. It's just annoying, to be treated cordially when you know nothing of me and I've done nothing to deserve it.
[it just doesn't sit right with her, too fake for someone so straightforward]
