Most humans would disagree with that assessment. Haleth is not one of them.
She snorts a little. "I am not beautiful," she reminds him, a thing she has said before. Strong of features, healthy, determined, many desirable qualities, but not beautiful. Not as the term is reckoned. It is not a matter of self-esteem; to her the adjective is simply inaccurate, so she always argues the point. For a brief moment it feels as though they are where they were years ago, the same friendly disagreement, the same easy conversation. "But she is. She has more of my coloring than yours, but in most respects I would say she is more your daughter than mine. She takes very much after your people."
