"People are funny that way." Laughable, funny, whatever; Ilde's sense of humour is a little warped at the best of times and the things other people tell themselves to make it through a day only bother her when they inconvenience her. (She has her own share of less-examined illusions, but most people do and her own don't interest her as much. They wouldn't work so well if she picked them all apart.) "But I doubt it. I've seen some of the fights at the arena."
