I'm sure one or more of them probably kept an eye on me, but I never interacted with their courtesans. All I ever did was chat with my friends that I went to the venue with, and danced a bit on the floor. They had no reason to ask me to leave for that, and so I chose to stand my ground, but not do it in a way that made a scene or give credence to their complaint towards me. Thankfully nothing came of it. Stigma against Lalafells isn't going to get better by Lalafells making a scene and acting like the spoiled children they claim to not be, but likewise nothing will ever change if Lalafells just sit there and take the verbal abuse either. There is a constructive middle-ground somewhere.
If you're being asked to leave, the correct response is to leave. There's no nuance to that. It's not your call to determine whether or not you're okay in somebody else's space. You don't get to determine what reasons they're allowed to have to want someone gone. They don't need a reason to begin with.
