Elizabeth
"Hmm. I'd think that might get tiring after a while." Whether the accusations are good or bad, to have people always making assumptions could be draining on a person, especially if it starts affecting their view of themselves. Danta seems the confident type, but people often mask insecurities with banter and nonchalance.
Shrugging her shoulders, Elizabeth concedes the point. "I suppose that's true." Although she wonders whether there's anyone out there who's succeeded without telling anyone. It's hard to believe that there's no one that's gone unnoticed by the Family.
Her punch goes exactly how she expects, but she laughs at his surprise, as warm and golden as honey left in the sun. "I'll never lie about my shortcomings." So when he steps forward to give her instructions, she takes them, nodding along and adjusting her fists. The weight of her arm... Elizabeth pushes her arm forward in another punch towards his shoulder, misjudging the distance and the shifting sand and everything else in between so that she stumbles off balance.

Sometimes in the waves of change
we find our true direction
