Gwenaëlle is having a difficult month. I am sure you've had those, in this awful place. If she prefers Ianthe's residence, for whatever reason, I won't move her. She cannot be moved, anyway.
[ Why does nobody understand that she is being nice by not dragging her out of Ianthe's house by her hair and throwing her out into the street? The concept satisfies even if the consequences would be terrible. ]
I have not. I am wise enough to make the decisions that permit me to thrive.
You can ask me to be nice. [ so magnanimous! ] And I shall be.
But you cannot ask me to be happy about being ousted from the comfort of our domestic bliss by my love in favour of her rescuing a younger and prettier damsel.

[ And somehow being a huffy brat did not endear Ianthe into doing what she wanted. ]
She is too well brought up to withdraw her hospitality from a damsel in distress.

[ Rich sarcasm. Yes, Ianthe, too polite by half, or else she would have instantly done just as Peony said. ]
Did you stamp your foot at her like this as well? I assure you, my own good breeding is quite unmoved.
no subject
I asked you for a favour and said I would be indebted. No stamping of feet.
