[ Sheโs just embarrassed by it because sheโs never admitted openly to her stupid crush on Thancred. He was the first Scion she ever met, the one who brought her into the fold. He made a big impression on young and impressionable Sarangerel. The flirtatiousness didnโt help matters either. She miiiight have sneakily read a few too many sordid romance novels as a teenager and Thancred was a protagonist straight from the pages of one back then. Though apparently even in those days Thancred knew better than to take advantage of a young girl who was every bit a hopeless romantic. ]
I have never said I loathed you. That was your presumption.
[if it's any form of consolation, ze is literally far too oblivious to be the type to notice anything of the sort. should it ever emerge in the future, however, he will tease her ruthlessly for it.]
You cannot tell me after all this you would feign a pretense of affection.
Quite serious. Hatred is reserved for cold-blooded ruthless murderers and heartless oppressors of peoples weaker than theyโ which you are neither. Naught you have done has convinced me you are anywhere near resembling such horrible monsters, hero. What youโve taken for implications of hatred, as I have already explained, was a mere unwillingness to appear weak when met with insults and hostility.
If you truly think that then you know less of me than I thought. My inclination to bite my tongue in the face of the hapless and needy is motivated only by the knowledge I may never have to deal with them again. If that is something you also desire, I'm sure the Scions can see to it.

I am hardly confessing to being in love here. I only said that I do not hate you.
