Word Count → 391 :: Selena: "What is this, displeasure? *derp* >:|"
It seemed that her pre-thought reply was short of the woman’s acceptance, which made her puzzled. Selena thought that people did not like others tripping on their words, but she brushed it off and smoothed out her furrowing eyebrows that was scrunching in confusion. Another thing seemed to displease the woman, and already the ivory she could tell that the hybrid clearly did not like her, but that did not sway her; this was one person, she began to think ignorantly, and her one option couldn’t possibly spoil her chances for joining Inferni. It was completely unknown to her that Talitha’s sibling was in fact the leader, so her impression with the de le Poer girl could very well perhaps lie on the line of being allowed in or being chased away. The Black tried to keep her rather simmering temper in check, and quietly listened to Talitha’s reply.
Her response was not what she expected, not in the bit; the girl took back what she thought earlier, when she compared the Imaginifer to her family. The woman was obviously more aggressive, and less patient and rational, or at least that’s how Selena saw it. Though her tongue wanted to talk back against the woman, to make her see that was not attempting to belittle her or her family, what self-control she had managed to keep herself silent. It was fruitless to start an argument when it was basically on Talitha’s land and on her behalf. Now, Selena made herself think over for a short moment to reply instead of blurting out what she can do, to hopefully please the annoyed woman and to make her appear thoughtful.
“I can heal, and also have some knowledge of the care and raising of plants, and navigation,” she explained first, and continued, “I can read and write, and have some experience teaching others do to so.” Selena did not feel that need to mention her low-speech, since it seemed useless. She also made a point not to speak of her battle skills, but the more she thought about it, the more it seemed demanding if she ever wanted to join the clan; what need would they need for a gardener? Only a second or two pasted when she stopped speaking, so she had enough time to add rather indifferently, ”I also can fight.”
