[color=0076a3][h3][center]~~Seleth~~[/center][/h3][/color] [@PaulHaynek] [hr] Seleth frowned. This was...odd. Troubling. Something just wasn't sitting well with her. This entire situation just smelled of...wrongness. Not to mention that thing with Varjan. So far it seemed like everything was leading back to him...but what? What did it all mean? Seleth frowned, grinding her teeth together as she watched the two leave. Should she stop them? Maybe she should, but that wouldn't solve anything right now. She was still tired after that fight with the Princess, and she didn't want to poke a hornets nest as of now. [color=0076a3]"...Nur,"[/color] Seleth narrowed her eyes coolly at the other girl. [color=0076a3]"I'm not so thin skinned as to let a little insult get to me, besides,"[/color] Seleth took a few steps closer to Nur. [color=0076a3]"Such feelings are natural for humans. Envy. Anger. Only a fool tries to deny it. I'd be lying if I said I didn't used to feel those things myself, almost every day when I was attending the academy. I can't tell you how many times I was both angry at myself, jealous of others for their freedom."[/color] Seleth sighed, electing to not elaborate on her own familiar situation and history for the moment. [color=0076a3]"Sometimes I, rather shamefully, even acted on such impulses."[/color] She locked eyes with Nur. [color=0076a3]"So tell me, Nur. Are you pathetic? Are you a fool? Are you so weak as to act on such impulses? You endure such insults daily. You are not as weak as you think you are. All you can do is make a promise to yourself to try to both be, and do better."[/color] Yawning, Seleth stretched. [color=0076a3]"Aaaah, that fight with the princess left me tired. You said you'd like to join me for some meditation earlier, hm? I'm not letting you take that back."[/color] Besides, she was worried about this whole thing still. She wasn't going to let Nur out of her sight if she could help it. Those fools wouldn't [i]dare[/i] to cause trouble here in the Cathedral. She would bring down the full force of Lady Aylama on them if she had too.
