"Oh don't play stupid with me. You know I referring to the fact that you just performed wandless magic. If you're that powerful you wouldn't be wasting your time working as an assistant - no one with half a brain would be." And generally someone with half a brain wouldn't be insulting the powerful witch who just took her wand away from her with said wandless magic, but Marietta was nothing if not true to herself, even to the end if that's what this was turning out to be.
"Desperate? Please. And I don't have to explain my reasoning to you. Or I suppose I do if I've any hope of getting my wand back?" Marietta raised her eyebrow and then sneered at her. She looked around for a chair to sit on because she wasn't going to just stand around for this since she didn't know how long it would take. "He's a pawn in a plan of mine. I need him to do me a little favour and convince a pompous prat that I am pregnant. It's all rather harmless really - for the healer at least." Marietta shrugged sounding a bit bored.
"So am I getting my wand back or not? I had no interest in you when I came here anyhow. He was supposed to be alone."
