@beazacha I wouldn’t say it’s all that out of character for her. She’s a savage, brutal fighter, but she’s also an uncompromisingly lawful person. She wouldn’t even open a letter from the emperor because ‘only someone of noble rank is allowed to open it’. She’s shown to be loyal to the crown, and that would extend to the prince, so it’d be weirder if she
didn’t freak out about calling him a fool, pulling out a blade against him, and drawing blood.
