The Library

[Unna Hi Chaanu]

"It would be an honor," Unna smiled to Jenna. "Have a good night."

Unna continued to stand tall as she watched the two figures disappear through the library door. Once they were gone, Unna sighed and continued to smile. She was definitely confused after the encounter. They seemed like bullies, but at the same time seemed to know that they were all going to stick together in the grand scheme. Groff was clear that they would all be one and that he would protect them if need be. Jenna seemed so sure that she and Groff would be listening to Unna's words in the future. Unna felt oddly at peace after this discussion. So, it's a test? Sure, she could pass, but what about Lysire? Did she realize that they were just trying to test their strength? It was pretty barbaric. It was unheard of to Unna, who spent the first 8 years of her life in the company of adults. Was this the childhood she had missed out on? Things weren't like this at the enclave.

Unna turned to meet Lysire and smiled as her friend expressed distaste for the pair. "I think they have some growing up to do. They seem to have been victims of this cycle in the past and decided to perpetuate it. Some weird tradition, huh?"

"Yes, ma'am!" Unna gave a friendly giggle as she held out Lysire's book flat, still open to the page she left it on. "I was going to bring your book to you. I held your place for you." She exchanged books with Lysire. "Shall we eat? I'll let you lead the way."
