"Aren!?" She's been screaming his name in outrage for quite some time now, "Of all the freaking people Asher, you just have to pick the person with the least qualifications!"
"I thought you got along well with Aren? Such hurtful words from someone he'd consider a friend."
Hand on her temples, massaging best as she can she sighs, "We get along just fine thank you, but that doesn't change the fact that he's wholly unqualified for the position you're trying to dump on him."
"Look at this place!" She urges, waving her arms out in an exaggerated manner. "It's an entire city with several nuances to pull through, policy to consider, expenses to manage and deals with other cities and villages to uphold."
Glaring heatedly at me she adds, "It is most certainly not a gate."
