This is true, but the way Cawti was treating Vlad still seemed very irritating, as if she didn't want things to work out and wasn't willing to explain herself to Vlad in hopes of helping them work out.

However you swing it, Vlad was not the only one making mistakes in Teckla. > At any rate, she had a great deal of courage to > confront Vlad and eventually leave him.
