[She does not want to deal with Rip in person. Well, she never wants to deal with Rip in person, but especially not now. Have a disgruntled Sir Hellsing on the opposite line.]
Explain this.
[What Rip receives next, is a forwarded notification listing Rip as a 'gracious donor' for Integra to compete in a drag race, which she distinctly does not recall signing up for. Rip, you dun fucked up.]
Now vhy vould you think a thing like that~? Vhy vould I vish to humiliate my beloved Master.
[Can Integra hear the edge when she said that? Of course this is Rip's intention. If she can't kill the woman, she's going to put her through hell in various other ways.]
Of course, of course~. Besides, you already vear suits und are zhe manliest man I've ever met, besides Zorin anyvay.
Und do you zhink I vould haf made First Lieutenant if I didn't dress zhe vay I do?
You vere born into zhe job. I had to fight for my rank.
[Lets just say this is an argument that might need to be avoided...]
Vats there to comprehend? You dress up, pretend to be masculine und put on a little show for zhe audience. It iz not like you are going to go on to be a full time performing drag king or zomething.
[She doesn't doubt Rip understands her struggles, and yet...]
What, and you believe being seen as 'Arthur's daughter' helped me win the respect of the Round Table?
[Sorry Rip, they're already here. She cannot even be bothered to think of the drag show right now. Don't think you've gotten yourself out of it, though.]
Audio; Not sure if sorry.

[Meaning, she's going with this if only to surpass her expectations. Integra isn't about to back down from a challenge.]

[Way to be dense, Rip...]
Allow me to reiterate. I understand the basic gist, but the culture of drag itself is something I've never been able to comprehend.
[Not judging, tho...]
