She turned back to Alisa then. "Really? Funny. I've never seen you carry or wear anything that seemed the slightest bit Bendel-worthy. Or maybe anything you wear just seems as poor and downtrodden as you are. I mean, really, Alisa. Why are you even trying to be something you're so obviously not? I'd be embarrassed for you if I actually cared a whit about you."
