No matter what, Lady will never be Sarah's friend.
She already screwed up their first meeting. If she fails to play her role this time again, she might end up significantly changing the course of the story. She must not let that happen in any circumstances unless she plans to ruin her more-than-half-a-decade-long preparation and keep everyone's happy ending from coming true.
And so, with those in mind, Lady finally pulls off a domineering stance and eyes Sarah with repulsion.
"Friend…?" she rasped with a scowl, disgust in her tone.
"Why would I want to be friends with a nobody like you?"
The smile on Sarah's face dropped then. She went still and quiet. Belle and Hartigan also appear to be thrown off guard. They're practically gawking at her right now.
