I’m actually risking one of the few non-antagonistic relationships I have left by what - lying? - so I can teach teenagers to kill Attuned.” If there’s bitterness at the end, she doesn’t try to hide it. “You may not know me very well, but from what you do know - personally - Does that really sound like something I’d do?”
She pauses, briefly, turning towards Aurelia. “Hell, if I were trying to kill Attuned, that I’d be so clumsy as to tip the Queen of a potentially hostile region off?” But she’s a big, sneaky, bad, right? Shaking her head to herself, the General turns back to their walk, gaze fully focused on the sand and teeth digging into her tongue.
