Time to step up

[a magical taco]

This is what Richard had been waiting for, for Rebecca to start speaking like an adult. He would appease her now that she had gotten her attitude in check. "It made me what to be a leader. For the first time it made me want to take responsibility for this cabal. Then you started to speak and I wanted to put you down. To grab you by the throat and force you to submit or be crushed under my shoe. See, I don't think you doubt my ability, not really. I think you have a hard time keeping your anger in check and in doing so you simply, in those moments, refuse to let me lead. I have never been a fighter and I don't particularly want to be. I'm a talker and until recently little more than a prankster but you seem to respond to violence and aggression. Is that how I need to respond in the future?"
