"... M-my... th-the Church of Reon... h-h-how... how d-dare you say something like that?!" snapped Tanya, taking a step towards the girl, completely furious. Oh, she knew what... foolish, stupid people would say. Those who didn't understand the Light of Reon. But she never, ever wanted to hear such foolishness, such insults! Flustered and infuriated, Tanya could barely find words to articulate her anger at the girl. Who was she, anyway? Who would teach such a young girl to say such... such things about a respected belief?! Trembling, Tanya struggled to calm herself. She... she should not act so angry, not at such a young girl... wait... wait, she was... she... That certain shade of pale skin, those eyes, that... A paladin was trained to recognize undead. And while it seemed that only the girl's tongue was wicked...

"... Hmph, you speak of rumors like you don't have any leveled at even the most civilized of your kind," Tanya said, folding her arms tightly across her chest, "[i]Vampire[/i]."

The word was practically spat. Tanya... while she could accept civilized undead as part of society, that didn't stop her from feeling some animosity towards them. While it may not have mattered in most situations... at a time when she was already angry, she couldn't help herself. "At least it explains why you appear as a child, and yet you speak about such things. Does it make you feel more mature in spite of your body? Does acting like you're so concerned with money make you feel like an adult even though you're stuck as a little girl?"

It was... about then that she realized there was a third person nearby. Damn it! Of course, this vampire comes out of no-where and insults her and the Church and there's an audience!
