Arsinoe stopped in her tracks and wiped off her smile.
If she was going to convince Typhon, she had to let him know just how much his initial dismissal had wronged her.
While she was glad he was finally seeing her worth, it didn't erase all of the disrespectful things she had to endure so far.
It took a while, but Typhon eventually noticed she had stopped following, and looked back.
[Don't tell me you're afraid of the responsibility.] he asked.
[I'm not.] she shot back, and Typhon frowned when he saw her scowling.
[What is it then?]
Arsinoe could see he was confused but she had to be truthful.
[I was punished for saving my team, and then you left without saying a word to me. It made me feel like I didn't matter and that no one cared about what I did to save us. Which is why I don't want to be captain.]
Typhon's sharp gaze was fixed on her and she stopped, her mouth feeling dry all of a sudden.
