Tera doesn't deal with (academic) rejection very often, so she's salty about it

TRANSCRIPT:
panel 1: Eithne smiles calmly. Eithne: "Dr. Teraat, I'm sorry, I just don't know what you mean!"
panel 2: A wide shot of Eithne's room. There's plants everywhere, it's cute. Tera shouts, waving her arms. Tera: "But-! We're sitting in a room conspicuously designed to not allow any prying eyes or ears-!" Eithne continues to smile and rubs the back of her head. Eithne: "I like my privacy, nothing wrong with that."
panel 3: Tera pouts, irritated. She looks down for a moment and thinks. She starts talking without looking up. Tera: "I told Marsione.. That I was looking to get a friend.. out of a bind here.."
panel 4: Tera continues to talk. We see a shadowy Maighstir with blood dripping from her hand. Tera: "I believe he is being held in this castle. Additionally, I have reason to believe the Maighstir is- to speak plainly.."
panel 5: Eithne raises an eyebrow as she listens. Tera continues: "Up to no good."
panel 6: Tera crosses her arms and frowns. Tera: "Right now I have conjecture.." She looks up, glaring. Tera: "I want PROOF."
