She knew very well what it was like to lose herself, whether or not anyone would believe it of her now.
"As for us older students? Well winning is a kind of learning too you know? If its an unfair duel then knowing what it feels like to win it and being able to think back on how you did it, its important. Maybe it doesn't feel good but its still important to know what it feels like and to know whether or not you have it in you to be merciless." Her uncle always did say that mercy was a weakness. Cela herself thought it was a strength but it was still something she was able to put to one side at times. Expression musing, Cela went back to glancing around the room to see if anyone needed help. That and thinking about coupons.
Keeley smiled and nodded, though she didn't really understand everything the older girl said. Not the sharpest tool in the shed, but she got the basics. She drained the last bits of water from her glass, wishing she knew how to make it dissapear. That would be impressive. But of course, she didn't know how to do that yet. She got up, wobbling a lot in the process, but determined to try again. She turned to Sarah, hoping she wouldn't leave Cela left out, and asked, "Want to try again?"
