| Coming in now. |
| I'll give this my very best! |
 |
Dude, for real?! Silver? And Ortho?! |
 |
You're gonna help too? No offense, but neither of you strike me as the fashion show type. |
 |
It was our idea to bring Silver in. You two lack knowledge about fae, and the subject matter's not covered in the freshman curriculum. |
|
What, you mean people like Malleus and Lilia? |
 |
There are many different kinds of fae, actually. The ones at the Fairy Gala are smaller fairies. THey live more secluded from humans than Malleus and Lilia do. Their culture differs greatly from human culture, from their habits, to their values, to their way of thinking. |
 |
Basically, if you assume all fae are like that overgrown lizard, you've got another thing comin'. But if you had an authority on fae with you, they could step in before you did somethin' boneheaded. |
|
Right. I'm ready to give my best for the good of the school- |
|
OKAY, HOLD UP. |
| ? |
|
You said you chose freshman because of the evolution theme. But then you asked Silver, which means... You could've easily gone with sophomores! |
|
Well, the thing is... |
|
We actually reached out to Sebek first, since he has close relatives who are fae. But... |

He immediately refused and started arguing with Leona. |
|
Okay, yeah... |
|
That's pretty easy to imagine, actually... |
|
You call that arguing? It was nothin' but a crocodile snappin' at me. He went on and on about how fae knowledge would be wasted on greedy humans. |
|
Diasomnia's freezing right now. Considering Sebek can't tolerate the cold, it must be unbearable for him. His nose was visibly running, yet he refused to accede to our simple request. His stubbornness is a headache even at club meetings. |
|
I'm sorry. I'll make sure to talk to him about his attitude later. Sebek can be a bit hot-tempered and prejudiced at times. Plus, his mother and grandfather are nocturnal fae--creatures of the night. The fairies who throw the gala are diurnal, and they fear nocturnal fae. It's possible Sebek might frighten them. He would be unsuited to the mission. |
|
Seriously? But they're all fae... Geez, why does this have to be a whole thing? |
|
Please, don't misunderstand. Fae are very friendly. |
|
Hah. I dunno about that. |
|
No, really. They're extremely kindhearted. Once you befriend one, they'll protect you to the very last. They're just a bit skittish and wary of strangers. So they're harsh with outsiders. |
|
Is that not what Ace would call "a whole thing"? |
|
I'm getting nervous about our chances now... |
|
Don't worry. I'm not fae, but I was raised in Briar Valley. I know plenty about them. I'm sorry for not being a freshman, but I implore you to let me join you regardless. |
|
Are you sure? You'd be signing up for trouble. |
|
I don't mind. It's to help the school. Besides, it would be a good opportunity to improve human and fae relations. I'd like to facilitate that. |
|
Geez, talk about wholesome... I can't believe we've got such a straight arrow at this school. Y'know, I'm starting to think you'll be way better than that stubborn loudmouth! |
|
I'd be glad to have you. Welcome aboard! |
