"Thank you for pointing out something I was not aware of, and before I say something to offend the three of you, I believe it will be better if I leave. I obviously cannot control my own rudeness." Her heart was beating a mile a minute. "Apedemak, my intention was not rudeness... and I mean when I say I was honored that you felt I was close to you, however I do not wish to offend further."
Apedemak's golden eyes narrowed and something slithered behind them. "Of course Prefect Trelawney, it is good of you to think of the others present. If you have thoughts on anything that we have spoken of, I would hear them at a later time. Before you take your leaven though, I would like to assure that there was no ill pretense for this meeting. Further, I do not believe that there was any offense intended today; but, it would seem some was taken. For my part, you will forgive any misdeed or ill-spoken word."
