Meanwhile, on Selene's side...
Helena observed the lively group of girls, their chatter filled with laughter and excitement about girly things.
She felt an odd detachment from their conversations..... Topics like the latest fashion trends, exotic dishes, and stylish jewellery were foreign to her.
She really didn't get them at all.
Growing up in an orphanage under the care of the Archpriestess, Helena had never developed an interest in such mundane luxuries.
Her clothes were simple, pure white robes personally enchanted by the Archpriestess. She had never worn cute or fancy outfits, and jewellery had never sparked her interest.
Dishes?
Food, however, was a different matter. Having had little access to tasty dishes in her childhood, she now relished the flavours available to her. So, she quietly listened to their chatter while savouring her meal.
