Well, I don't care that he doesn't want to talk about his past. I find it a bit strange that he won't mention anything about it, but I'm not really that curious. What gets to me is that he's constantly dropping little hints about it, and then he gets angry at me for questioning him. Like I'm the one fishing. [She shakes her head.] And apparently he can be offended by me pointing out that he has Elven heritage, but I can't be offended by him acting like it's an insult to even be related to Shadowkind.

[She heaves a big sigh.] And then he just gives up and says "No, ma'am" or "Yes, ma'am" and I'm supposed to just let it all go.

Although part of me does enjoy his subordination, I do wish he wouldn't call me ma'am. [Miss seems a little more appropriate, she thinks with an eye roll.

She breathing a little heavier now, and in retrospect, she realizes venting might be a good idea, lest she actually take her frustrations out on Ethan.]
