[Hello??? Where the hell is this coming from? Rin's back goes ramrod straight as a little color reaches her cheeks. She's quick to take a half step back in surprise.]
Are you sure about that? I think women say whatever is convenient for them.
I hope you know that will make it easier for people here to take advantage of you.
[Rin has to look away. After the placing of that rose she cannot look Elphelt in the eye, nor can she keep a straight face without blushing. Her hand rises to her face as if trying to palm her face in annoyance.]
Then let 'em try. I've decided to be true to myself no matter the path it sends me down and I'm not gonna let others change that. They'll just be bumps in the road, that's all.
[She smells blood! As a sharpshooter, she is not about to hesitate when she has a clean shot.]
...You give off a cutthroat persona, but if that were true, would you have warned me just now? I'm thinking you're a good girl, Miss Tohsaka. Will a good girl be able to keep up...?
[Unfortunately Elphelt has pressed the right button (good girl) at the wrong time (implying that she's kind). This kills any budding interest in Rin, and causes her sour behavior to bubble back up to the surface.]
I see. Well, consider it my one and only mercy as a repayment for your assistance.
[Tohsaka turns her back to the other woman, and doesn't even say goodbye as she makes to take her leave.]

[Or at least that's how Rin (mostly) operates.]

Oh? No, no, no. Not me. I'm a straight shooter. I wear my heart open carry, you could say.
[When she pulls one of her hands out from behind her back, it is suddenly holding a rose, which Elphelt immediately sticks into one of Rin's ribbons.]
On my honor as a woman, I stay true to what I say, even something said in the heat of passion.

[Elphelt scurries past Rin to slide in front of her, blocking the girl's exit.]
I thought I was doing pretty good there! What'd I do wrong?
[She had been wielding her feminine charm so deftly only for things to go kaput as soon as they started. Elphelt needs to know!]
Was it the rose? Was that too much?
