A woman on a mission.

[rodomontade]

Don't be pitiful. You know I refuse to respond to that particular tactic. Besides, I have my hands full at the moment. Lucius has contacted Mother and Father and it is only a matter of time before he asks me to marry him. After I have said my vows, my duties will double and what little time I have given you will be even less.

[Something her mun says causes her to purse her lips and look utterly unamused.]

Apparently you will never see the futility of your actions. Very well. Why must I be held prisoner this time?
