The Matriarch hit a nerve and boy did she. But it wouldn't be the first reaction that showed it. Holding the kiseru away from her mouth, she just said to her, "I thought you said earlier that your problem wasn't Bretonia?" Then she became irate, standing up while her hands leaned on the table.
"Well, my problem IS Bretonia! Kusari was never a problem for me and right now, still isn't! Do you know what those Royalist bastards have cost my family? Everything! During their war with Kusari, it took the life of my uncle, Kentaro. With both my mother and her brother deceased, my grandmother has only her daughter's children to see. Thank you, Bretonia!"
Rage set in as it reflected in her heavy breathing. Her eyes welled up. "And then they take the only place I ever called home, disrespect my father and put a warrant on his head for something he didn't do." Tears began to fall. "I hate them! I truly hate them! Yes, Matriarch, I have been forced into a life not so much that I don't want but wasn't ready for. Unlike you, my issues aren't here in Kusari space yet I'm supposed to make them my issues. If you can't help me with that then we have little to discuss." She finished by slamming her fists on the table and walking away with a napkin by a window to collect herself.
