Selvia opened her mouth to speak.
Eventually... and seemingly with great difficulty, she managed to force out two words.
"Was... attacked," she said.
Her voice was so small, Coraline Heartsong almost questioned her identity. That charming East-Stateswoman drawl was unmistakably her, though.

The scar...?
Coraline furrowed her brows.

Coraline - “I recognize that my superior has made a decision, but given that it’s a stupid decision, I’ve elected to ignore you.”
Dessi - “...Like, this is why you don’t have any friends.”
