Stigmata denied engaging in any flattery, but Rue was incapable of seeing his words as anything but empty, meaningless praise, delivered in hopes of gaining something in return. She rarely, if ever, provided any service or advice truly deserving of commendation. In truth she was often uncomfortable simply being in the position of beta, knowing there were others in the Plateau more worthy of the respect and responsibility attached to the title.
Rue dipped her muzzle in acceptance as Stigmata made to depart. He could not help but toss a parting quip at her, slipping in an obvious reference to the remark that had so unsettled her the first time they met. Rue was hardly surprised. She sensed a challenge buried somewhere in his musing words, and her expression set resolutely. Stigmata made his exit long before Rue would have been able to construct a worthy retort, and truly... she wasn't sure she even had one.

'Till we meet again. ;)
