"N-N-Not at all!" Lilia stammered, uncharacteristically missing a step and nearly tripping over her own feet, recovering just in time to avoid tripping entirely. Her brush was practically incandescent as she did her best to look away from Cecilia, which took some awkward positioning given how close they were as a result of a new dance. "I just don't handle crowds the best..."

"Oh, yeah, mum was one of the first to join! Fastest blade in the order, candidate for its best duellist, and she took part in the [i]really[/i] famous battles!

Lilia continued, enthusiasm creeping into her voice, "She was only part of the knights for a few decades, but she has [i]so many stories[/i]. Not just of her, but Elionne, Florian, Agrahn... oh, and all the times that 'those four' would cause some sort of trouble or play jokes on people. I didn't get a good look at her, but Tyaethe doesn't really [i]act[/i] like I expected from all the trouble she'd cause with Cyrus or Edwin..."
