Fred was almost certainly out of her mind for even daring to speak to the thing that had killed her this way, but it was all just a little too much for her to take, standing here being none-too-subtly insulted every other sentence.
And honestly, if she was going to die either way, she'd rather do it as herself. Maybe she'd push a little too far and get struck down on the spot, but then maybe she'd take down Illyria with her, if what she'd said about converging timelines were true.
"Can you maybe stop reminding me of how insignificant I am to you? You don't have to repeat yourself on that point; I got it when you said I was -- an inappropriate vessel."
Fred didn't intentionally try to mock Illyria's tone, but her last few words came out that way, and she wondered in hindsight if maybe she had been curious if her voice could really do that.
