"My wish is… that you accept me into the family and respect Nyssa's and Merry's judgment."
Opal looked at me, shocked. "You didn't land a hit, you- you crashed into me!"
"Sounds like a hit, Big Sister…" Merry gloated. Nyssa threw her a green pill that made her bruises disappear at a visible speed once she swallowed it. The alchemist herself took one, too.
Opal gritted her teeth, her stare shooting daggers at my skull. But after a while, she took a few deep breaths and forcibly relaxed. "Fine, at least you're not like those immortal wimps who run away every time I arrive," she sighed.
I mean, that was a bit unfair, Merry and Nyssa both wanted me to run. Glad I didn't; not only did I show the girls I was always there for them, but I also managed to calm down the situation and impress my sister-in-law slightly.
