"And this-" Her skip-step up the library stairs came to a jarring halt when Selphy snapped the parasol shut and flashed it up to her shoulders. Teal eyes stared forward, sunrise burning within them, stoking anger that felt so out of place. Mist could only stand, one foot off the ground, as confused as a critter in lamplight. Had something happened? Did she not hear? Selphy was normally so joyous, someone who could match her own energy! Oh, the conversations they'd shared- "Are you... introducing them to everyone in town?" "I..." Mist risked - yes, risked, for she didn't like looking away from the librarian in that mood - a look down the slope, toward her former roomate of a good time, who stood guarded. Grounded. Tense in a way that she hadn't seen the woman use for a few years. Ready to fight. "Yes-" Selphy huffed, indignant, dismissive. "Don't bother. I know who she is. And I don't want her anywhere near my home."

Mist just wants everyone to be friends---

There's a theory out there that Selphy is a runaway royal from the Sechs Empire. I like the idea that Selphy is a member of the family who used to rule before Ethelberd took power... and that a certain Commander's family aided in that coup.

So there's a lot of animosity, huh!
