"Oh, easy," she starts counting on her fingers, "one, threatening to stay with the Paris Opera Ballet when I was fourteen, two, I joined a super-hero team instead of staying in the diplomatic corps, three, I started dating a Rimborian, basically assumed the scum of the universe, four, I got myself killed while super-heroing, five, I married the Rimborian and had his child, six, the child was a boy, not a girl...it's a lot of social faux pas and if there's something Bgztlians hate, it's social faux pas. That, and losing face in society. Which I also made them do."
