> I ultimately had Dominic defer to Bettie because, aside from Mumphrey, she's got the most years of living of anyone at the mansion under her belt, and as a conservative, it'd probably go against his instincts a bit to disrespect his elders too much. Even when he argued with her, I wanted to convey his sense of frustration with her choices, because he'd have a hard time understanding how someone with the benefit of her wealth of experiences could not know better than to avoid dealing with Dream.

I couldn't quite make it fit, but it would have culminated with Bettie telling Dominic that everyone is entitled to seek comfort from someone, although I doubt he'd accept that.
