... So what? I've never behaved anything like a proper lady should, anyway. I practice magic that could get me executed if I were found out by the wrong person, for mercy's sake! Why should I stop being a shameless villainess just this one time?! And if I have to give up everything I actually want to get it, I wouldn't even call that success!

And maybe it should be about being satisfied! For someone who talks a big game about how you only do what you want to do, you're terrible at being greedy! If I said, "Oh, you're right, I really shouldn't risk it! I'd rather never see your face again," would you just be fine with that?!
