[AR's words do carry a sting, and she flinches, and then flinches again when that bothers her eyelid.]
[She gives his hand a squeeze as soon as that bit of foolishness passes.]
... I'm sorry. [And she really is. It's hard when WV is rooting her on, but AR is scolding her. If AR wanted him dead, too, PM could simply avenge him, and that would be that. His strong legal sense adds to the confusion of a situation already much more complicated than when she put on the ring for the first time.]
[Something about that fight was different and she didn't like it.]
