Jenny took a deep breath and attempted to calm her temper. But there was only so much taunting and insults she could take before she exploded. Jenny was usually a level headed girl who, after dealing with Vastra on a daily basis, rarely lost her temper. She could handle a few careless insults from Vastra because she knew that her wife thought of her as an honorary Silurian and simply forgot she wasn't one.

What Jenny couldn't ignore anymore though, was the constant insults and dismissive looks she was receiving from the Silurians they saved from an invasion of giant mutated rats. They should be grateful. Instead, they treated her as a thing to be ridiculed or ignored. Vastra attempted to intervene but Jenny held her back. From her discussions with Vastra, she knew if she didn't hold her ground the Silurians would not take her seriously. They would continue seeing her as Vastra's pet or worst.

Unsheathing her sword, Jenny faced her current tormenter and challenged her to an honor duel. Her opponent smiled arrogantly, but accepted as to decline would be a dishonor. Her smile soon turned into a frown as the human easily held her own. Her frown turned into alarm when she could barely keep up with the human's attacks. With a quick flick of her wrist, Jenny disarmed her opponent making the blade clang onto the stone floor. The Silurian's eyes widened with shock and humiliation before she reluctantly bowed her head in deference to the human.

The other Silurians gasp in shock and grudgingly began treating Jenny with respect. Though out the whole confrontation, Vastra grinned proudly at her mate. Let the others call her a fool and an ape lover.

She would always choose Jenny over any Silurian any day.
