Normally it wouldn't have mattered. Even you shouldn't have known what I was doing, you self-satisfied bastard.
And was he making up words, just to mock her? She'd never heard "wacky" before in her life, and half-suspected it might be sexual. It would be like him.
"You know what? I've stopped using my discipline when you asked -- despite, I might argue, not a little personal risk in going unprotected around such a trustworthy group as ourselves -- and even apologized for the offense. Despite what you're so determined to think, I'm not a fool. We're both nothing here? That makes us equals, with the exception that you've had more time to learn what in God's name you're doing."
Her temper apparently vented, Anna pauses; collects herself -- though this time she doesn't have to shift her appearance back to normal, so either it's been something she could control all along, or whatever triggered it the first time isn't here now.
"Granted, I suppose if any of this actually helps, I will be in your debt." She gives the word a meaningful emphasis. She had been Harpy once, after all; she knows her way around boons. "But these names don't mean much of anything to me, yet. They don't tell me whose ass my nose should be in, to use your phrase. I'd say I have even more a desire that I not fuck this up than you do, so could you please be more specific."
