Maeve's outburst struck Kistal as somehow even more childish and bratty than expected. For someone like Kistal, that was an impressive feat. He said nothing, content to let her sabotage her own relationships. He was happy knowing she wouldn't remain a threat to the tinker imp, so he straightened up and put his hands on his hips, just watching the spectacle. As she approached the exit, he spoke a single sentence about her. "Good riddance to bad rubbish, then."

He then moved beside Nix, surprising her with some scratches behind her ears. "What do you think of all this, Nix? Politics and social hierarchies suck, don't they?" He looked at Allard, giving a small nod. "I had no intention of any further altercation unless she tried to harm anyone. I said my piece. She's the one that decided to treat everyone here like commoners that just spat on her favorite dress."

Chihiro crinkled her nose. Maeve's entire reaction reminded her why she tended to avoid the extremely wealthy areas of cities. That reaction was far more than necessary and far more hostile than reasonable. She decided not to comment and instead moved behind the bar, placing both hands on Suzune's shoulders. Leaning in, she whispered low about the earlier request. "Perhaps now would be better to discuss that topic. It's much lighter than this."

Tali placed her hand over her mouth to stifle a giggle at the tirade. As much as Maeve tried to say she was different than the other nobles, she kept proving she was just like them. She needed a reality check and potentially someone to guide her to actually know how to act within normal society. However, Tali wasn't willing to follow her just yet. She was too angry and worked up to be in any way rational. Instead, Tali took it upon herself to take multiple helpings and enjoy the food before it cooled.
