Now May Be a Bad Time (Selena/Beruka)
Selena rarely wished she was like anybody else. That would be the equivalent of admitting she wasn't already her very best, the person she desired to be. And what if she desired to have a few other abilities sometimes? That only meant she was looking to perfect herself. Yes, there existed some people worth her envy.
Beruka, for example.
Much as the assassin reviled her capacity to keep her cold and confide her emotions, even she had to recognize the importance of that when they were forced to stare death in the face on a daily basis. Yeah, Selena could totally do with some of that. Especially right now. Anyway.
Beruka’s combat skills were also a thing of awe; the dedication she harbored towards her job was impressive, it made Selena want to give it her all, work twice as hard.
A sigh escapes Selena’s lips. Oh, where did that come from?
In all honesty, Selena wanted to think about Beruka less these days, especially now that their journey was seemingly coming to an end. It was just that she would miss her a little bit. Alright, no, she would miss her more than that, a whole lot in fact. Okay, Selena wasn't entirely sure she could leave Beruka behind anymore.
She had called Odin and Laslow fools when they actually committed the stupidity of marrying and having children since Selena thought they would want to stay here in this world rather than returning to their own. Apparently, they planned to tell their wives and children everything and return with them. Fine, fair enough, Selena still believed it a bad idea to marry in the middle of such an important mission, and she was firm in her beliefs that falling in love at this moment was the last thing they should do until she started to notice her own growing feelings towards her dear friend Beruka. Guess the heart didn’t know of times or danger, after all.
Well, it wasn't like Selena would die without her. But if she could personally make sure Beruka stayed safe and took a rest after the war, that would be good. If she could sew her one or two or a hundred dresses, since she knew the assassin truly enjoyed wearing them on occasion, that would be amazing, seeing wonderful Beruka wearing one of her carefully crafted dresses. And if she could take her back to Ylisse with her and introduce her to her parents as her wife, before searching for a small house to live in together for the rest of their lives, yes, that would be excellent. But nothing of that could be because that would also mean leaving Lady Camilla completely alone. Hell, would Beruka even want to leave? She probably didn’t. Selena was sitting here planning a life with her without even knowing if the other felt the same.
Well, she would have to address that first; Beruka would be here any moment, this could be a good chance to talk–
No, oh no, she wasn’t prepared at all, she didn’t bring Beruka anything! She could pick some flowers, maybe rush to the town to buy her a new axe. Yes, she still had enough time if she started to move now.
