Sabine tried as best as she could to stand her ground. Vinaremo towered over her such that she had to hold her head back at a steep angle to see his face. Sabine didn't like the situation much at all, but even as she felt her knees starting to quiver in fear and her heart starting to beat faster, she wanted to see if she could take this far enough without falling into this trap that he had laid.

She stood staring for a few seconds, then found something to respond with. "You're not strong enough. You're not worth it. I can tell." Sabine said, this time sounding a little more provocative, "If you were strong enough, you wouldn't have to serve under Hal-Neesa. You would just take control."
