Aldonza looked at the shouting specter before her with a very muted expression. It wasn't the first time she had been mugged. It wasn't even the first time she had been mugged by someone so...loud. But it was the first since she had given up the life of Aldonza to become Dulcinea.
So instead of the angry response she would have preferred, she tried to think of how her Lord would have wanted her to respond. It wasn't easy, for in her heart she still knew she was no lady.
Eventually, she settled on, "I have nothing that you might want."
She was proud that her voice only sounded slightly angry, at least to her own ears.
