[ She grasps her staff tighter, sweating a little now. If she had known she was going to have to be fighting someone she would have put her protective gear on, dammit ... ]
[ She's starting to worry now. She sounds so confident ... ]
What are you gonna do, then? Start reading all the boring, shitty books and sit on the statue all day? They're not going to come back until you leave, being all smug about it isn't going to change that.
[ But fine. If this woman really wants her ass roasted, Qilala's about ready to pop one off. She waits for the response first in hopes she'll just go already. ]
[She shrugs her shoulders, looking all sorts of confident and amused.]
But perhaps in seeing their masters' cowardice and their own powerlessness, these students will learn that their vaunted Guild is naught more than weaklings.
[ That actually baffles Qilala out of her fighting stance for a moment. Did this woman literally just walk in here and turn the place upside down without knowing a thing about it? Everyone in the Thaumaturge's Guild knew exactly how the brothers acted and were still here, so ... ]
[ She sighs, almost relaxing a little. She's not off her guard exactly, but ... ]
I hate to sound like a total ball of mush, but ... you do know that people can respect someone else because of their heart and not just because they're strong and powerful, right?
I've seen no evidence of that. A city of carrion feeders, who seek each other to fall so they may profit off their corpses. None have any interest but to line their own pockets and boast of their own empty glory.

[She grins, more like a predator than a mage.
She's acting very much out of a grudge right now, so she's not really caring how rational the idea is, just that she gets her revenge.]

No thank you.

You -- you need to go.

[She manages to make that sound almost belligerent. It's an obvious challenge- Are you going to make her?]

Aye, I know that well. But I've never seen such respect nor heart from any of Ul'dah.
no subject
Well, you kind of just showed up here and didn't really talk to anyone, so I don't know what you expected.

I'm sure you've been here. But you haven't really been here. Like, yeah, it's a shithole, but not everyone here sucks.
