Nayan, who didn't usually indulge in cruel words for the sake of them, took some uncharacteristic satisifaction in saying to Brodie, "The girl with whom I was trapped in that elevator was one of the most ill-tempered, unmannered, brats I've ever had the displeasure of sharing stale air with." He placed a hard delicious emphasis on the word 'brat', really making it worth its syllables. God that felt good. He sat back and elaborated darkly, "I work with children. All the time in all the most difficult situations, where they have right to be upset. I am very familiar with thier temper tantrums and self centered habits, but never in my life have wanted to resort to corporal punishment so much. She whined and, ah, bitched" (his accent made the word sound prettily and acidic.)"the whole time, called the other woman in the elevator 'hired help' at one point, and went into throws of withdrawl when she could not get internet service in the lift."
He let that sink in a moment then added tritely, "She was at least sixteen years old."
