Prompt: Critic
Out of all the things that irritate Rose—and the list is a mile long—the hardest thing for her to ignore is the way Moroi society judges her. Most of the Royals don't weigh the good she's done against the bad, they just make a snap decision based on one thing and one thing alone—her relationship with another dhampir.
She could tolerate it if they thought she was unfit to guard Lissa because of her past actions or even due to her age, but when they whisper—always at a level where she is sure to hear it—that her involvement with another Guardian makes her an undesirable choice, she has an extremely hard time keeping her composure. She knows it's just a matter of time before their snide remarks push her too far, and she snaps, lashing out at whomever the critic might be—not giving a damn that they are a Moroi, or that she is sworn to protect them. When it finally happens, and she has the person pinned against the nearest wall, she'll tell them politely that loving Dimitri isn't what makes her a poor choice to guard the Queen—it's her hair trigger, ever present temper.
Then she'll introduce their arrogant nose to her fist a time or two, up close and personal.
