[ Perhaps it was just the context of the situation but this time she could forgive the tone to which Weiss was speaking to her with. The way she saw it wasn't that she didn't think that her sister couldn't fight her own battles, but that she wanted to weed out the worst of these people by doing this; the ones who posed a serious, harmful threat to her only family here. ]

Can you now, Weiss?

[ There's an unhesitating tone in her voice just then, not even missing a beat in her responses. ]

I could stand for everything else going on here, and I am aware of your role in running your own company and being successful in what you've done. However. I cannot just sit by as I witness others slandering you and taking out their petty feelings on how you are going about your business here.

[ Her gaze ticks downward for a moment before addressing something else that had been on her mind. This time with concern filling her tone around the edges. She really does do this out of good intentions. ]

You speak of being able to handle this, but that scar on the back of your hand I have spotted during our last meeting says otherwise. I am unaware if the one who gave that to you is still here but that is not something you get from handling yourself properly and I will not allow others to speak so brashly of you or come close to harming you like that again.
