Indignant, she opens her mouth to shoot off a response, but the instant, scathing reprisal doesn't come out. Her jaw clenches.
"Look," she says finally, "if you're that beside yourself that I asked you personally, fine, I get the message. But Emet is-- he's--"
Still an enemy, her mind throws at her, and she can't find reason to dismiss it. But he doesn't really still feel that way, right? It can't be, if he's been so kind to her, let her do all the things she has, even more or less acknowledged her as a friend.
The mental image of him placing the orange crystal into her hand is hard to scrub from her mind.
"I already told you I was trying not to pester him, and I am endeavoring to continue that. But I think you're letting some of your 'mortals are stupid' get in the way here." She might be contrary by nature, but not where it concerns other people's well-being. Her own, maybe. Not his. "I'm fine. He'll be fine, too. I'm not going to push him. How many times must I tell you before you're satisfied?"
