Beleth's kneejerk reaction is to point out that Cyril was hardly crying over it, possibly because he knew she was right. And that she wasn't sorry, because she was right, and also because he'd been shit talking Sorrel. And in all honesty he was lucky she didn't deck him???

But none of these are helpful to the current conversation, and certainly are not things that Pel needs to hear. And honestly, even if she was right, and even if he'd been rude, her response had been...crossing a line in decorum. For that, at least, she knew she'd done wrong.

"I understand." She nods, hands clasped on her lap. "Thank you for your counsel, Pel. I'll take time to consider your words, and give apologies where they are due."
