Seems just like yesterday

As Sterling had her little moment, her temper evidently flaring, Esarosa clenched her jaw, irritation prickling at her and causing the hair along her back to rise slightly. You better drop that attitude, or I swear I'll... her thoughts seethed, but she didn't say it, although it lingered at the tip of her tongue. It wasn't often that she found herself in this emotional state - she preferred to let anger slide off her back than to let it affect her - but the way her daughter spoke to her was more than annoying. Not only had the girl cut her off, but she was really being insensitive, and she definitely wasn't doing anything to make a case for her level of maturity or capabilities. Then again, she couldn't remember being all that respectful or receptive to the suggestions of adults when she'd been young, either. She tried to balance her aggravation and worry with some sort of understanding, all the while trying to soothe herself in the face of what she felt was an adversity. "Sterling, I'm your mother," she said, emphasizing the word mother to make a point before anything else, pausing pointedly before carrying on, "And I can't help but to worry about you. I can't stop you, but just listen to me. You haven't been out on your own yet-" And again, she found herself interrupted. A low growl emitted from her throat, her nails digging into the ground. At this point, she wasn't sure if this was going to end well, but what was she supposed to do? Where had this sudden attitude come from? She'd never had to deal with this before. She was tempted to yell back, to make herself heard over Sterling's childish ranting, but would that really make a difference? She certainly wasn't going to make a bigger scene out of this than it already was, so she sat quietly, her lips pursed and a brow lifted, obviously unimpressed by her daughter's outburst, but waiting semi-patiently for it to end so she might get another word in. |
