Pur didn't like to contemplate what life would have been like if she'd been born as Damisi was, unacceptable for the noble class even though she was born to two noble parents and all of her siblings were acceptable as nobility. It would have been unbearable. She was a proud creature, and she would have rather left the pride altogether than been forced to make that demeaning, humiliating walk down the mountain to live among the commoners. She also felt sorry for Maua, for having given birth to a daughter who was so unacceptable.
"I would not be looked down on," she said. It was too close, dangerously too close, to the risk she'd run by her shameful behavior, thinking about what it might be like if she was not noble. If she was discovered, her life as a noble would be as good as over. Gods, she would rather return to the rogue lands and try to make her own way than bear that shame, but there was still the shame she would bring her family, and that could not be removed by her absence.
There was another option, of course. "I would marry well, too, and make sure that my reputation was above reproach."
There wasn't anything else she had to say, really, to her littler sister, and so she nodded a polite dismissal to her and went on ahead to make her official greeting to her mother and father. She hoped that she would be well received by her parents. She had done everything according to their plan, and to her knowledge no one knew. Things should be able to return to normal. She looked forward to it.
