Ulla goes very still, her eyes widening. She doesn't trust his sincerity.
And moreover, she doesn't know what to do with it.
She's silent for a long moment, because what is there to say to someone
telling you that you deserve better than anyone in anyone in your life has
ever given you?
"Roffe has the sort of face it would be a particular pleasure to punch,"
she notes. That's the easiest part to respond to. The rest... "Since when
do people get what they deserve?"
Roffe and Signy will, if Ulla has her way. But she's here, with no way to
get at them unless she graduates.
