There's a brief moment where the air between them settles. If he's paying enough attention, he'll recognize the calm before the storm. But the moment passes quickly and she's soon on him, grabbing his beard and pulling down hard. His beard in hand, she grabs a dagger from her belt and holds it at his throat.
"You had best keep your accusations to yourself, you pompous ass. Just because my world is not as advanced as your doesn't make it any less deserving of respect. And if you have a problem with that, you can keep it to yourself and fuck off."
Her gaze is steady, but her eyes on fire, as she holds him in place. Her voice is low, almost a growl. Whatever semblance of civility that she had once been able to keep with him before is now gone. He's pushed her buttons one too many times.
