The art of the slam
Tell you what, I have got to stop trying to play bitchy characters. I’m no good at it. I get out-bitched in no time flat.
Which has its moments, admittedly. I wanted to laugh as hard as everyone else at some of the piercing one-liners aimed at Latiel—couldn’t if I wanted to stay in character, of course.
The curious thing, though, is the defense Latiel adopted once it became clear she was heavily outclassed in the bitch department. She started being nice. Wish that tactic worked in more situations, I do.
