Suddenly, Margaery's blood was boiling. She couldn't tell if it was because of the harsh response she received for a simple question or the sly, almost too convenient comment about true family. Either way, the potential she saw in this newcomer had diminished instantly and she was angry. So. Very. Angry. Once upon a time, she could navigate this situation with the utmost of grace, most likely emerging as the polite, sophisticated lady that she was. Now? Not so much. A year of social isolation had stripped away her conversational skills, leaving her to glower at the female who stood her opposite with burning gray eyes. Oh how the politics of this moment evaded her.

You're a lady. Be a lady. Don't do something you'll regret, her mind practically ordered, forcing her to sheathe claws that had accidentally escaped without her knowing. She wanted to demand to know what Lup had meant. She wanted to know why she was so harsh, so accusatory. But she couldn't air any of those inquiries (at least not in the public eye) without being seen as rude or disrespectful. She had no other choice... And so, by willpower alone, she calmed herself. [color=black]"I haven't seen my true family in over a year. I miss them - my children, my little sister, my brother - more than words can describe.

[color=black]"I hope you get settled in well, I'll be off."

And like that, she was gone.
