Billie's quiet for a while after he says his piece, taking it in, considering it, and deciding it is complete and utter bullshit. That really shouldn't surprise Daud. She doesn't like giving up, which is what he clearly did.

"Guess I was right to challenge you after all, old man," she says quietly in the end. As much as she would like to turn the table over and yell at him, she won't. Anyone else, maybe, but not for Daud. Instead, she gets up from her seat peacefully and pulls her coat closer, prying heavy gloves out of its pockets.

"I'm going back out."

Snatching up a hat and scarf on the way out the door, she does just that, skulking off into the long, empty, deathly cold night for her turn to watch the bonfires up close.
