I don't have to take orders from the likes of you. [In addition to being a woman you're just so NERVOUS about all of it.]

"She knows the books!" she says, "She knows what happens!" she says. You go parading that around to all your friends like you're queen of the castle and then you have the nerve to call me a - what did you call me?

A fail boat?

...If you can't see I'm not a boat then you and I really don't have anything to say to each other.

[willas_tyrell]

You do realize she's not literally calling you a boat, yes?

[theonnojoy]

I gathered that. [No he didn't.] It still doesn't excuse that she clearly has no faith in me.

[willas_tyrell]

[He's skeptical]

Perhaps the reason she doesn't have faith in you is because in her eyes, you may not have earned it.

[theonnojoy]

What specifically do I have to prove to a woman like her? To any of them as a matter of fact.

She's no Greyjoy. I owe her no fealty.

[willas_tyrell]

You seem to care a great deal about their opinions for how little you claim they matter.

[theonnojoy]

It's not caring. It's looking for respect.

[willas_tyrell]

Fair enough. But once again, what have you done to earn her respect? Yes, you have your title, and your land, but that does not mean much to someone with the sort of power she now wields over you.

[He's not trying to tear Theon down, that's clear by his tone. He's calmly discussing this, trying to show Theon a better path than the one he's on.]

[theonnojoy]

[You tyrells] I'll not be made a fool of.

[willas_tyrell]

I'm not trying to make a fool of you. In fact, I'd rather all of this be resolved without insult.
