"The only way to smooth out a miscommunication is to communicate, Beleth," she says, sounding slightly tried at last. "I haven't told anyone about Alistair. And I won't. I don't think it's anything to be ashamed of, but since you do, no one has heard or will hear it from me. It's not mine to tell anyway.
"But I'm not going to beg for forgiveness for the implication that your behavior has raised questions. Because that is what I came to talk to you about--privately, with dignity. I don't think you were wrong to want to be with Alistair, but it doesn't matter if I do. You're a grown woman capable of deciding your own heart. But I do think shouting at Cyril in a camp in which we are visitors is inappropriate, and also a red flag. And I think that criticizing me for past human suitors while entertaining one yourself is both inappropriate and a red flag. If something is wrong, I want to listen. But I will not tell you it's all right for you to treat your friends this way."
