If the added on 'supposed to be' was meant to draw attention to her bratty behaviour and make her feel guilty about it, it certainly does the job. She can feel the cloying feel of having done wrong creep up on her and the light dusting of pink across her cheeks deepens.

Truth be told, she hadn't exactly thought through what her plan was after this. Like so many times before in the past she had simply acted on what she felt was best, making it up as she went along. She was no Master Tactician, no brilliant commander. She was just Holst's younger sister and only daughter of House Goneril. Planning was usually reserved for parties and outfits, not handling the feelings of a friend. At least not usually.

So in some ways, she acts impulsively again, not quite thinking about the consequences to her actions and blurts out, "Okay, well can you teach me how to cliff dive then?" She'll probably regret this in about five minutes, but that's a future Hilda problem.
