Ah, poor Perrine. It seemed rather a cruel thing to do to her on the day before her birthday (which is today - although that was a complete coincidence), but at least, as the others noted, she can be proud of how she handled it.

(For the record, I quite like Perrine, even though - or possibly because - she can be a bit difficult. Character-wise, she grows the most of any of them over the course of the canon, which is in large part what this bit sprang from - and she's not done yet.)
