Clavia spoke up before anyone could call Tokk's state of mind or lack thereof into question. "Medda, whether you believe this right away or not, you mind your manners. You don't speak about someone right in front of them as if they're not standing right there."
She looked back at the queen. "I'm so sorry, I was hoping good manners would override disbelief." She shot Medda a dirty look at that. He may not have used a rude tone, but what he said. Good grief.
