"I didn't tame him!" The words come out in a rush, her eyes too wide to be angry, but too affronted to be scared. It's a lie, no matter how he spins it. Taming him wasn't what she was trying to do, and the thought made her sick to her stomach.
She knows what he's trying to imply, and the mention of her ancestor brings back the memory of his story with her--and all the horrible things she learned. There's an anger in her, but it's crippled by the knowledge that he could still kill her. And easily. She clenches her teeth together, trying to reign her emotions in.
"I cared about him. More than anything. I would have done anything for him." All in the past tense. There's a safety in the past tense, and she knows... Some part of her knows that if this is a dream, then she needs to keep that safety net below her.
