ZARIAH I don't give a damn 'bout my bad reputation "Then what is it you wish for me to say?" she asked pointedly, clasping her hands. "You say that I don't know the dangers of Halo, then I present evidence I do, and you complain I am lecturing you. You say you were in true danger, I insist I conducted the course with your safety in mind, then complain that you simply don't know my capabilities." she said, tilting her head to the side as she considered the young woman. "I welcome your insight as a native Halovian. I welcome your questions and concerns. However, I also expect some respect for my position. Neron did not place me here simply because I am powerful, but because making other people stronger is what I do. Because he knows I have survived equally dangerous circumstances, and that I want nothing more to take this fire you are raging at me with and turn it into a honed weapon to bring Halo to supremacy." she said, leaning forward as she held the young woman's eye. "Now, why don't you tell me exactly what you're upset about."
