It was meant to be a clever rejoinder by Brienne. I may need to rewrite if people are interpreting it this way.
I think you need to rewrite it; I still don't see how it is clever, rather than insulting. (If you're uncertain, I suggest private messaging a few random Redditors and asking them to summarize what they think that exchange meant.)
Wasn't my reaction.
(Above, we see a third reaction: that she's being sarcastic. Below, a fourth.)
Whoosh.
And since you have kindly self-selected to volunteer your reaction, you are no longer meaningfully informative about how people see it - hence my suggestion for messaging random Redditors.
EDIT: which, by the way Eliezer, also applies to the comment you left. Geez. All you're going to get is more self-selection like David_Gerard's, where people with unusual reactions volunteer their cleverness.
