Alexander nodded, saying, "All right, I won't look. Problem settled." 

Part of him rankled at being called weak...but he was not going to lie to himself; he [i]was[/i] weak. He might and will grow stronger in time, but being weak and ignoring it was dishonest to himself and also preventing him from becoming strong. So he should back down. But as he prepared to do so, Vesta intervened, clearly pissed off at Zin and her torrent of arrogance and abuse. The young man noticed that she hadn't said anything negative to [i]him[/i], potentially because he, in his bumbling way, actually did try to help. Or it could be that Vesta had a lecture for him as well, only for later.

As Vesta had not forbidden it, he would follow her deferentially into the mansion, his body still tense as he half-expected the clash of combat to begin. He was still angry at Zin for seemingly being a ball of unrestrained hatred towards anyone who was not Vesta and/or looked at her the wrong way. [i]Petty, but so me,[/i] he thought to himself.
