Fendros didn't know quite whether he was being scolded or encouraged by Meesei's lecture, being thrown around as such. He couldn't just make up a response on the spot, as there was truth behind the her words in regards to defaulting to what he had been taught in his upbringing. To be called out as such made his ears hot with embarrassment. For Meesei to assume that the new life he had been forced into was something superior, something that he desired, let alone that his previous prospects were stagnant, only made him angrier. His frustration was intensified by Meesei's own story; not only had she turned her back on her people, she did so willingly. [i]As much a slave as my family's previous property...[/i] Fendros wanted to say.

Fendros just clenched his teeth and bore it, however. The levitation was likely a very mild taste of what could be provoked from Meesei. He only had one last question that was of any use, "What's your stake in this?" he asked with a low tone.
