Mable chose to address the making amends first. "I can make sure the next court I will make a statement at the end of court." She agreed, but she would use her own words, it would hold more weight then if it sounded like he wrote it.
"As for the former priscus, I did not know he was going to deliver a threat, much less a death threat. I did blow off steam discussing the matter with him. And I was angry enough to want to beat you. While you use words to cut people down I use fists. However, I am learning how to use other skills too and have learned that violence isn't always the answer. Plus, why would I be so stupid to do something that would get me into trouble again? It has taken a long time to recover from losing control in Elysium."
Mable tilted her head and scrutinized Jack's face, "Do you really think that low of me? Am I really that ignorant to you? Just because I am not a stuck-up bitch who feels the need to crush others with my superiority does not mean I am an idiot." Mable kept her voice calm. She wasn't angry but more hurt.
"And if a single quarrel is just a drop in the ocean, why are you still harping on it? If it's your overly inflated pride, then I get it. I understand for many pride in who they are is all they have." Her voice softens a little more, "However, if you ever want more all you have to do is say. I am more then willing to be a friend and we could be allies. But not if you continually tell me I am wrong and say things that put me down. Because making me feel like a dumb piece of shit does nothing to actually raise you up. And if your self esteem depends on that then you have bigger problems then me thinking you were trying to bribe me." frustration and hurt are now very apparent in her voice.
"We could make a good team with your social skills and my physical ones. But I am less likely to want to physically protect someone who speaks to me like you tend to do." OMG, mable thought to herself, I am sounding so freaking girly right now.
