"'Luxury?'" Olive repeated, staring at Kentamin open-mouthed. The offense registered clearly on her face. Who was this asshole to talk about luxury? "You think, between the two of us, that I am the one benefiting from luxury?"
Part of her knew that she should just shut up. This yearling little priest was an idiot, and she should write it off, but anger and disgust was rising up through her being at his words.
"You know," she said, shifting her weight so she was sitting straighter, looking intently at Kentamin now, "I was born into a life of luxury. That's true. I had..." she gave a little shrug, as though only thinking about it for the first time, "every advantage a girl in our country could have. Then I was Marked. I was a kid, what did I know? I accidentally used magic I never even realized I had. And after that, once I knew, I did everything right. Everything. I never used magic - I still don't like to, but I think neither of us want to freeze to death, do you? - I went to mass every day. Sometimes twice a day. Sincerely confessed all my transgressions. And what did it get me?" Olive gave a little scoff, looking away from Kentamin and out of the cave, her frustration no longer directed necessarily at him. "You know, when they came for me, I went willingly to the camps. Willingly. I thought it was the best choice... Maybe not for myself, but my family, my -" she almost said 'duchy', but cut herself short. "I was an idiot. Sent to be beaten, and raped, and starved, and worked to half to death - and for many, just to death. And to be treated by your lot, who always espouse understanding and compassion," she gave Kentamin a meaningful look then, "like fucking disposable tools. To be experimented on then disposed of. So don't fucking tell me who between us has the luxury of anything or not."
Her green eyes stayed venomously on Kentamin for several moments, then let out a long, pained exhale as the throbbing in her ankle overtook her again. "But fine," she said, closing her eyes again, "if you want to stay tied up, I'm happy to oblige you."
