She shot him a glare. "Hey, who are you calling ungrateful?"

"I'm not wrong." Toby unfolded his arms and spread them outward. "I just finished teaching you, and you pushed me aside now that you don't have a use for me. If that isn't being ungrateful, what is it? Not only that, but you don't have a conscience either."
