Someone who is just trying to do the best with their situation, with what they have available to them? Always. Well, mostly always. Sometimes. A lot of the time. Her mouth does tend to run away with her now and then.
“You could always just send me as your messenger instead,” she offers with a far-too-innocent smile. “And then OH NO, I go horribly off-script and all the blame for impoliteness gets heaped on me with you getting apologies and sympathy for having to deal with my lack of tact.”
