A brief sprint around the dojo hadn't tired out the excited Selene, who had halted her sprint at one of the dojo rooms. She climbs the tree, being careful not to disturb it too much, and hangs upside down from one of the branches, lost in thought. Several bumped into her while she hung there, but most went around, with Selene acknowledging none of them as life in the dojo went on.
She thought of the future, what would happen to the clan, especially after their announcement of rejecting the Lotus. This had been the only time for a break she had gotten for a while, for she has been on a long string of missions during the uprising of the clan, working to disrupt the Corpus shipping lanes and preventing the movement of Orokin materials, including the infamous Void Keys. A few ships had gotten away, but most were being sifted through, their remains dead in space.
She didn't understand why they fought against the Lotus. Hadn't it been bad luck that Stalker had shown up and killed their teacher right when he was chatting with the Lotus? Conflicts between clanmates were common, especially those which ended with blood drawn. It was the risk of dueling with one another, wasn't it? Selene didn't know what to believe; the Tenno Under the Lotus had saved her and broke her free from Alad V's torture, and encouraged her to make her own path. She was loyal to a fault with her clan, but she was also in the Lotus's debt.
She sighs, falling off the tree and laying against it, a pedal falling on her head. She knew that her clan would come in conflict with the Lotus. She knew that, with less individuals working to fight the Grinder and Corpus, they would grow in power until they killed everything, including each other, in the system. And she knew most of all, that they would all be tested by the conflict.
And boy, she hated tests.
