growing pains [ASHEN MEETING]

Pleione · 12-13-2022, 04:00 PM

Change was upon more than just herself, it seemed. Pleione had been wracked with anxiety for days as she pondered who to challenge as per Venom’s request, knowing with every second that ticked by that she was already being evaluated. It may have made more sense to fight someone with a lower skill level, but she’d already dismissed that as cowardice. What was left was a series of less and less likely victories as she imagined facing down every familiar face she could picture, all the way up to Venom herself. Ha! What would the empress think of that? Would she think her vain and stupid to even attempt, or brave for the very same reasons? It was all hypothetical, anyway. Pleione knew her own limits enough to be certain she’d freeze up from sheer intimidation, and then she’d have to throw herself back into the ocean out of shame.

She was embarrassed to find herself one of the last to answer Venom’s call. Settling in among the gathered wolves, Pleione was relieved to find it easier to assign names to faces this time around. She may not have had many in-depth personal conversations with her peers, but she could recognize them at a glance. That was enough, right? Too caught up in her own head, she barely had space to be concerned with what the meeting was actually about.
