Selena ignored both Faith and Loki, she went closer to Himeko and slowly hugged her while smiling, she whispered to her with a calm voice that made Himeko calm herself.
Selena: Don't worry, I promise I'm not going to let you die, I'll do my very best to avoid that, so please, now calm down and don't think about Hate now, just close your eyes and try to not think about her...
Selena kept hugging Himeko for a minute aproximatelly, she then stopped and looked at Faith and later to Loki, now with a serious expression.
Selena: I was wondering when you would show yourselves, I know you have been watching us from the laboratory, actually I would like to know just what you've asked, why are you here when you have no reasons to? Or have you come just to see our friends die? Because that is not funny, not a single bit.
A dark ball came from a mark in the back of Selena's left hand, it went to a wall and turned into a black armored warrior who was supporting his back in the wall with his arms crossed.
Thanatos: calm down, there is no need to be aggressive right now, we are a bit tired so is better if we think logically.
Selena: what do you mean?
Thanatos: Hate has killed part of the only group who is able to fight her, she knows we are weak now, and she will use the chance to finish this right now.
Selena: do you mean...
Thanatos: she is comming here right now, and I'm sure she will be here sooner than we expect, tonight, this city will be a battlefield, but we still have time to do things, I could give the orders, but you do it better Selena.
Selena looked down, she knew exactly what she had to say, but it was something she was not used to, despite of have done it a few times, she was never getring used to it, however she made her mind up and looked at Tico.
Selena: Tico.
Tico: me?
Selena: Order the king to evacuate everyone, and I mean everyone, we will be the only ones who will remain here.
Tico: oh.. You think Hate will try to redirect the hate towards you... Okay, I'll do it.
Tico ran away and Selena looked at Thanatos.
Selena: you know where the exits are, when everyone has left mske sure you close them all, destroy the tunnel or do whatever you need to do.
Thanatos: if we destroy alm the exits she won't be able to know where they are, okay.
Selena: I must get into her head... She already knows what we are doing here... What we are saying... What we are thinking... We will do exaclty that, she must count a semi-infinite number of posibilities, the fact that we are doing exactly what she thinks is something she will easily discard because she knows me, she knows how smart I'm.
Selena began to walk in circles, she was mumbling to herself ehile thinking on everything that could affect Hate's way of thinking.
Selena: No, she will expect we are doing the first thing that came to her head, for that... Is why we are going to strike first I'm sure she will come on one of that ships, the moment she comes she will go outside, she knows anyone can beat her now, for that we must avoid her, if we fight her we will lose. oh... Sorry, I began to overthink it.
Selena passed her left hand near her left ear, she looked away but she was still thinking about Hate.
