Even the air itself seemed to still at Lady Cadelaria's audacity to command Sienna. The guards certainly did! They held their breath in for a moment, waiting for the punch, pan, or slap. At this point, it was hard to tell.
Slowly, Sienna curled her lips into a dangerous smile. "You--command--me!" She drew out the words slowly and laughed. "As who?"
Lady Cadelaria put her hands on her waist, tipping her chin upwards. Her eyes were filled righteous indignation and her attitude, twice more arrogant than usual. "As your mother-in-law." She smirked. "You plump thing, better know your place. Don't challenge my authority or I will be forced..."
Sienna focused her thought attack on the sand. A handful flew towards Lady Cadelaria's face, and she stopped talking. Her hands slapped at the air, rapidly. One moment she was screaming, and the next, she was standing still, as if frozen in place.
