65. Rings

[corrinesbell]

These things...don't even work. I keep trying Luna's for some reason, but...there's just nothing there. Oh well. It's still nice to have them.

You guys remember last winter? ...'Cause I do.

...I wish Corrine'd come back...

[[ooc: Sheena got a small box with her summon pact rings inside...but of course none of them work here!]]

You don't have to apologize for anything.

[corrinesbell]

Yeah I do. It's not my business talking about you behind your back like that.

[wise_maiden]

You felt you had reason to, didn't you?

[corrinesbell]

...He's not right.

[wise_maiden]

...

It's fine. You can be honest.

[corrinesbell]

I was honest. I told him what I thought was true.

[wise_maiden]

... I see.

In any case... we'll try this little experiment and see how it goes. Maybe I'll even be able to prove him wrong.

I trust... you won't say anything to the others about this? I was hoping to keep the details quiet, though I'm not sure what to say to Colette.

[corrinesbell]

We deal with more than enough experiments here.

...If you have as much respect for Colette as she has for you, you'll tell her the truth.

[wise_maiden]

I can't have anyone else know these details, Sheena.

[corrinesbell]

Why not?

[not angrily. This is honest curiosity]

[wise_maiden]

Would you like people to start saying that you're unable to take care of yourself? I can't have other people knowing this.

[corrinesbell]

Colette would understand, and you know if you asked her not to say anything, then she wouldn't.

[wise_maiden]

I'm not changing my mind on this.

[corrinesbell]

...Then tell her whatever you want.

[going for a walk now]

[wise_maiden]

I intend to.

[She's just going to attempt to distract herself with paperwork while Sheena's out and avoid thinking about this topic and her own "gift".]
