[There's something in her jaw that sets there. Something sharp and dangerous.]
If they were given direct orders to only speak to other unit leaders, I was unaware of that fact and wasn't made aware until now. But if that's the case, then yes. I unintentionally questioned the authority of said officer.
[There's a dull white noise hum in the back of her head that replaces any active train of thought. It's old habit, survival skill maybe: don't think, just do. This isn't be the first time she's questioned by an officer above her rank, isn't be the first time she's been facing some kind of court martial (or worse - whatever this is). But there's a tingling in her fingertips at her sides. A line of heat down the back of her neck; she might not be thinking about it, but she's angry - angry enough to be aware of it.]
