Better Late Than Never PV Finished

@Akina Kuroshima @Tristan Theramin

Selene couldn't help but overhear the both of them, as they have an interesting conversation. She leaned on the wall, crossing her arms with the usual display of thumbs. She leaned her head on the window. Unfortunately enough, the conversation was interesting, yes, she could use it as somewhat useful information, but it did not by any means made her heart buzz. Like sudden electrical shivering through her body. It was just another one of those conversations that ends up being deep for unknown reasons, what? Just because? Just because they just met? Was it really that important, considering they'll probably rarely meet ever again? Selene fake yawned while rolling her eyes. They bored her, sure she got information but was it that useful? She continued to listen more and more about their conversation while trying to find the right words regarding the two kids.

Akina was someone who was new to the wizarding world, from the looks of it she seemed to went through troubles of socializing, known from the fact of how she mutters much like an idiot. Selene may be good at profiling and trying to read people but keep this in mind that she is just a child, further steps that show how much of a matureness she has will be enough to drive her already cynical brain into an asylum. She knows that some things are better not known, but sometimes she was just too foolish to care. However, a Hufflepuff's trait will always be kindness it is both a weakness and a curse. It'll only take you further into someone's else business and problems. If she gets her nose into more of that, she'll find herself into a situation where her own kindness could mentally ruin her, it's good to be kind but it's idiotic and foolish at the same time. Selene looked out of the window, the colors of the beautiful environment, she knew they were getting close to their destination. Selene pushed her hair to the back as she continues to eavesdrop. Hey, at least she's being honest with what she's doing, unlike the one time she was in Diagon Alley.

What about Tristan? The boy has a blabbermouth too good for his won good. He may be a Slytherin, yes, our main traits are cunning, we will do whatever it takes to achieve our ends. But at what cost to get in? Mostly family issues, traumatic experiences, betrayal, the feeling of never being enough, if Selene was being honest, out of all houses Slytherins will always be supreme in taking care of emotions. Why? As said before, more and more traumatic experiences and they're still a child. That's why Selene will do whatever it takes to cherish moments of childhood, in her own way. But Tristan's way of telling his story in his and Akira's so-called 'sudden-trust' moment, truthfully, once more if Selene could just blabber her mouth once more, she would say to him that he's way too reckless at telling his own stories and information that may be used as blackmail for him. Depends on who's listening, this time, Selene couldn't care less about the boy. Once they arrive at Hogwarts, she knows that there will be more to come. "And to be fair, I believe that you are the same way."

Oh boy, did she really think that all Slytherin has disapproval families? Really? Is that the trope of her house? That Slytherins aren't allowed to have a normal family in order to get into the train of character development? Merlin's beard was she amused by this! Selene couldn't help but let out a surprised laugh, the fact that the Hufflepuff girl would think that she had a disapproving family revealed the fact that she does not know anything about her, nor about socializing in away. God, she was amused by this, so amused. During her laughter, she heard Theramin saying that he was indeed not the same as Selene. Family issues yes, the roots of it? No. She rolled her eyes, hearing Theramin sigh. Really now? The boy expects people to think he was cold and unreadable? With that, he reminds Selene of a closed book at first, but then once you find out the strings and ways to flutter and flip the pages, he'll become into an open one. Reminds Selene of herself, in all honesty. The fact that they were still children but already went through this, Selene thought it was normal. But hey! As someone who was once and could definitely relate to Theramin, Selene definitely needed to socialize...and he was no different considering he tries to be cold yet..now here he is.

”You know I’ve heard in school that beauty is in the eye of the beholder and that you shouldn’t look to the forest for trees.” This time, she didn't know why but every time something just gets amusing it also hurts her head for being annoying, oh boy was Akina really pulling the trigger this time? Selene smacked her lips, she couldn't help but just speak a piece of her mind in this situation. "Are you really to change someone's mind by meeting them for the first time? I'm not one to judge but I'm definitely betting you're a Hufflepuff. Why? Your reckless way of trying to change his mind." Selene pushed her hair to the back before looking at both of them, she took a deep breath trying to calm herself down. "By the by, you don’t fully get to choose if we are friends or not. What if I decide you are my friend? I could become a pestering ball of annoyance until you agreed the same.” Selene stifled a giggle, crossing her legs while doing so. "Yes, and I can't guarantee not using incendio on you." Hey, if she did try to become a pestering ball, she'll definitely shut her mouth before she gets the chance..in a way. ” And for the record, when I said you two are alike I meant in a way that you tend to keep people at arm's length because you believe it to be better for everyone. Maybe you should think about what is really best for you? Misery tends to love company, or so the song goes.” Selene really tried-trust me she really did, the fact that Akina was trying to read them was so adorable, amusing but stupid.

It was almost time for them to arrive. Selene took her book and stood up, putting it back inside her trunk. A plastered sly smile on her face. “But I must say one word against that. I am selfish and I do not have friends because I do not want to get hurt again. It is not some altruistic action of protecting others.” Selene rolled her eyes, how many times does it need for her to do it? If you suddenly say to her that she'll probably find a brain there, oh boy, what? Got it from google? Youtube? God, muggles were amazing. Selene didn't want to use the term mud blood, for a fact, it was offensive in a little way. "While fixing her trunk, Selene glanced at the boy. "You said you do not want to get hurt, you say you do not have any friends because it's in your defense mechanism from traumas or family issues, either way, the same." Selene sighed putting a hand to her hip while her hair made a flip as she examined Theramin's eyes. "That perhaps will already be enough for someone to try and flip a page of your closed-book, facade." Selene then looked sideways at Akina, giving her a look, then back to Theramin. “ If you want to know my past, I do not have reservations about telling it but you must not treat me any differently” She once more crossed her hands with one foot pointing towards the door. Selene raised an eyebrow with a smirk. "Is that suppose to be a threat?" Selene immediately though of that as one, why? His words, not hers. That he expects them to not treat him differently. Truly, what is the difference between being wrong or right? It's subjective and a matter of perspective. "Clearly, you're really trying, the both of you really are trying. If from the very start I knew that being all goody-two-shoes," Selene glanced Akina before looking the blonde boy. "-Could have helped me greatly on extracting one's information, gladly, I will but of course, if you expect us-nothing more than strangers an hour ago to try and treat you differently because of god-knows your past and the reasoning of your very well, riddling mind-" What? The boy loved riddles after all. "And being in a state of conflict because of it, believe it's better to stay shut than getting hurt rather than being in a state of conflict inside your head. Your heart and logical functioning brain that works to make you survive to live, constantly being in a war." She then walked closer to him, icy eyes looking at each other. Ah, now she remembers, the name Theramin. Tristan Theramin, the heir of his family. "You're an heir, yet you act and sound like a hermit due to the lack of socializing because you're afraid to get hurt and all that other stuff." Selene was once like him, for a moment she thought Akina would be the one to annoy the hell out of her the most, but surprise-surprise. It was Theramin himself! Another heir to another family issue. She was well aware of the fact that both of them were children, but, she was ruthless, Selene was ruthless for the years of tears she keeps drowning herself in. The heart of hers keeps on beating growing more and more size out of her body. Apart of her wanted to say to Theramin to keep his mouth shut, well that would work nicely but also in a way telling him to keep it shut so that the boy could enjoy his own childhood. Selene wanted it, she wanted it so badly but now, it's already gone from the tips of her fingers. "Then act like one, Theramin" Selene then walked away to her trunk grabbing it and getting it ready for their arrival.

Edit: The thread is finished! Although if you guys want to RP more it's fine, apologies for such long answers=thank you so much for agreeing and joining on this trip! If you ever want to owl me-please do! I'm always on the sever's discord tho, thank you~

“Let me tell you one thing before you go. I already told you this is a persona. I don’t want to act like an heir because I am one but I agree with you that closing myself off was definitely not the right choice. It was fun though and I will continue to do so.” Tristan said. Did Selene think he was have a moment with Akina? That would be the strangest thought. “I am never going to see you again and there is no need for me to open up. I don’t have family heir problems. I caused them and I accepted them, Selene. For you Akina, do not assume that every person here has a sob story. My story wasn’t entirely true but you believed it. Be careful, there are worse people out there than an eleven year old.”
Tristan was no here but as Selene said, he was an heir. He might not act like one now but he has always been worthy of his title. Selene was an interesting character who tried to read people too. He was pleased that she actually said her mind. Selene the perfect girl who always had to smile. Good for her.
