	Karen raised a brow. Bishop seemed slightly different somehow, as though his demeanor had switched into something else, but not anything Karen could pick up. Again she blamed it on her woefully inept social skills; more reason to work on this as soon as possible. Karen did not like [i]not[/i] knowing, which was especially true when the knowledge concerned [i]her[/i]. She took a few seconds to ponder on her next words, something that could get him to clarify what he meant without coming off as nosy.

I admit that it is [i]somewhat[/i] true,"[/color] shrugged Karen, her eyes flicking from his face, to the white rat he was petting, [color=92278f]"but it also begs the question of what defines 'someone below myself'; and that's a definition even I myself am not sure about, lacking as I am in a social life. What would you consider as 'someone below yourself' Bishop?"[/color]
