Star Players, Part Seven

{Enverna}

The whole ride back, as they waited for their driver and as they made their way back to Telvan, Enverna kept thinking back to the faces of those people. 

Maybe she was just feeling pity for opponents she'd taken down so quickly, maybe she was being naive and she needed to remind herself that evil people didn't always look evil, but as she thought back to them, she couldn't help but feel like those people didn't seem like killers. 

[And yet, that was undeniably what they were, Enverna. Don't trouble yourself too much over it.] 

"I'm beat," Zura stated. "I think I'm gonna go head back to the dorm. Mel, you comin'?" 

Mel took a moment to consider it. 

"Yes, I... I think I'll do the same. Good work out there," Mel, somewhat stiffly, said to Lianna and Enverna. "I'll see you tomorrow." 

"See you." 

Lianna and Enverna waved them both goodbye as they stood in the hallway at the Watchful's headquarters.
