Connie laughs a little bit. Now that was something she could get behind. Although she's never had the misfortune of interacting with Homeworld nobility as a whole, all of her encounters with Hessonite had generally brought her blood to a nice boil. It was quite satisfying to finally puncture her ego at the end, and Connie was fairly certain that defeating any other Diamond Authority higher-ups would procure the same feeling.

"I don't have much experience with courtly matters myself, but from my experiences with the few... nobles I've clashed blades with," Connie scowls, remembering Aquamarine's casual pettiness and Hessonite's ever-smug expression, "I can attest that it's cathartic to knock them off their high horse." The fact that she's only managed to do it once was something that Lelouch didn't need to know.
