As Mal spoke, the Ogress' expression remained the same. She had already said her peace, and at this moment she had nothing else to add. Having already explained the issue to her Queen, Betony remained silent as she awaited to hear from the insolent Hunterheart.
"I am afraid I do not entirely remember..." Mal said with a wince. "I was unsure what had happened at the time, and what happened afterwards has overshadowed the memory rather..." she gave an involuntary shudder, as she screwed her eyes shut. Trying to dig through memories of wild eyes and empty prisons and dredge up what had set Betony off in the first place.
She gingerly removed one hand from the chair back and rubbed at her face. "I think... I heaved a sigh of relief and said something about nothing but one of Them being scarier than what I just did, when you left to commence 'the Scary part'." she said, at risk of starting up the whole argument and getting struck down again. "I do not know if to Everyone heavily invested in your court, that seems an outrageous slur, rather than just a dumb piece of hyperbole or bravado... But I was simply expressing my relief at overcoming a mental block I had wrestled with for some time..." the little Courtless explained with quiet sincerity, and just a little reluctance. She had no desire to start spilling her guts with the Witchtooth sneering at her.

"Ok, I can see the issue," Terri said, a small smile on her face, trying to keep as neutral as she could. She sighed internally. "The Courts find that the path they have chosen to be very important to us, Mal. Those who develop a strong connection to certain ideals do so because they have come to an understanding, a way to battle what has happened to them. Some of us," Terri said, glancing to Betony Rue, "Could be quite offended by bravado, even if it was a meaningless phrase. I do not condone the use of violence, especially in the Throne room but all I can say is that you are lucky it wasn't King Spartan you offended." Terri paused, a smile on her lips. "That was a joke."
