[IC] New Crobuzon & the World Beyond

[Selina Parcellus]

Selina begins to smile as she sees Tomeal participating in her prayers.  Strictly speaking, they were her own way of communing with her goddess, but noting his desire to join her was adorable.  At least at first.  When he shows himself to be a bit more devoted, whether to her religion or herself, it was endearing.  She spends a fair amount of time deep in prayer, mainly because she needed the comfort it brought, as well as the closeness, and now Tomeal was only adding to that with his own.  At some point during their watch, Selina reaches out and gently takes Tomeal's hand, giving him a small smile of appreciation for how well he was taking care of her.  She couldn't remember a single time in her life when she had ever been so utterly, completely, abjectly terrified of anything.  She would never call herself courageous, in keeping with her closely-held value of modesty, but this concept of becoming an unknown, something which was part of a great expanse of diffuse elements, to lose her identity, her sense of self, her individuality...it was absolutely mortifying to her!  She is grateful she listened to Simon and Crozar, two beings native to this plane, as they steered her correctly in regards to where the group could stay for the night.  Now they had to keep watch for the 'wolves'.

[[Selina is incredibly happy that the mist did not venture into their cave.  While she is not a fan of being trapped, body horror seems to be her worst fear.  Now I need to figure out her spells.  I should have them ready before tomorrow hopefully.]]
