"Sooo...Ghondor."
"Yeah?"
The blunt shortness and immediacy of the other girl's reply puts Sena way more off-balance than she'd been prepared for; Mio's no goody-two-shoes when she gets going, but she's still so gentle with all her friends.
Whoops. Focus, Sena.
"When we first got to the City, they told us all about...stuff."
(Ghondor's smart, she'll know what that means!)
"What, you need practice?"
Somehow, it's not a question. Sena squeaks out a nod.
"You're not scared, are ya?"
"Er, well, yeah - what if I'm bad?"
Ghondor scoffs. "If? I was countin' on it."
Sena flushes bright blue.
