Position is no excuse for rudeness.

Depends on what the position is.

I'm afraid I don't agree.

Civility requires little to no effort. Position, whether higher or lower, shouldn't impact that.

Being civil doesn't mean one isn't rude.

I suppose not, but if I were to dislike someone, even intensely, I'd still like to think I could make the effort to be polite.

*laughs and laughs and...*

Oh.

You were serious.

I'm glad you find that so amusing.

More than you could possibly imagine.

Maybe you don't know your position.

Oh, I know my position well enough. But I don't use it as a means to excuse improper behaviour.

I can just imagine.

Good day, Ma'am. Very nice to have spoken with you.

Majesty.

I'm sorry?

The correct form of address would be 'your Majesty'.

I'm sorry. Are you Royalty?

...your Majesty.

Queen Helen. Of Troy.

I'm afraid I've never heard of it.

But, I apologise.

*bows*

Good day, your Majesty.

And you claim to be a hierophant?

I'm a Hierophant of the Temple of Maran in Atlus.

I'm sure you are, my dear. And I've no doubt you're very good at what you do. Perhaps.

Nevertheless, you're quite mistaken in your original thought, and I thought I should be one to tell you. Now you can go.

I think you will find you're quite wrong.

Perhaps I am.

Only when a King insults an Oracle, the very Voice of his God, and then uses position as a shield, it does make one question.

But, of course, I am but the daughter of a Lord. Whatever would I know about position?
