[ probably not the most persuasive comment to make but it at least absolves him of any strange vibe of friendliness that was tacked onto his request. ]

I made some mistakes in settling in here.

Old news.

[ touché. vile company that she is, she believes she's at least better than that sloppy-mouthed girl her brother was playing with.

but all right. all right. as he's being so insistent—plus his words are becoming more taxing to read than to extort—finally: ]

Fine. I will do you this favour, on the condition we make no associations with each other. I believe it would benefit the both of us to pretend we're strangers.

[ is it necessary to be so stringent? he'll play along for a lack of other options, but the effort does seem to be wasted. ]

As you say.

[ at least, he wouldn't make a show of it where anyone could listen in. if she'd still chastise him, then so be it. ]
