The short-haired woman choked on her words.
Though she was still unconvinced, she had to admit the ponytailed woman had a point.
"You're far too quick to trust someone just because they show you a little kindness," the ponytailed woman couldn't help complaining. "You're just too young."
"You're barely older than me," the short-haired woman said unhappily. "Don't pull rank on me over your age."
