Well, that was done and over then. Seleth sighed, stretching silently. Ah, she had overdone it. She really wanted to just get back to the Cathedral, but before she could tell Nur to have a bit more backbone, the timid girl said something else. Something quite absurd. Seleth stopped, glancing over at Nur from her shoulder. Utter nonsense.

[color=0076a3]"I know the rumors well."[/color] Seleth replied with a sigh. [color=0076a3]"That I'm unpleasant. A, shall we say, bitch, to put nicely. I've been accused of bullying and being far too headstrong in a number of aspects."[/color] Seleth hefted her spear, letting it rest on her shoulder as she turned to face Nur. [color=0076a3]"So let me ask you...when faced with such rumors, what am I going to do? Lay down and cry? Cower and flee?"[/color]

Seleth's words were quick, sharp, and pointed just as any blade. Rumors of her being indelicate were probably true it seemed.

[color=0076a3]"...but,"[/color] She softened her words, facial expression growing troubled. [color=0076a3]"I've recently come to realize that I'm not nearly as confident as I try to put on."[/color] Her body relaxed, her gaze shifting off to the side as she continued. [color=0076a3]"I defeated the princess, but can I say I did it with skill? A part of me is second guessing myself, wondering if I only won by some sort of fluke or stroke of luck."[/color] She fell silent, sighing. What was she even saying? She hardly knew this person. 

[color=0076a3]"...not that it matters. I won, and I will likely face Varjan in the finals. Even if I were to lose my family will be placated simply because I defeated the princess."[/color] She turned to walk, making a large sweeping motion with her spear. [color=0076a3]"I'm heading to the Cathedral, if you wish to come. We can talk more there, and if you wish I can try soothing your worries with some prayers, perhaps?"[/color]
