Selen: …
Celeste: Hey.
Selen: Huh? Oh. Hello.
Celeste: You're Selen, right? You're Merric's new apprentice.
Selen: That's right. And you're Celeste, the lancer from Hatari.
Celeste: Uh-huh. So, um… what's up?
Selen: What do you mean?
Celeste: What are you doing? What's going on? Anything you want to talk about?
Selen: Not really.
Celeste: You keep to yourself, you know? I see you talking to Merric, but everyone else, you just shrug off and avoid.
Selen: …
Celeste: How come?
Selen: …It's nothing.
Celeste: See, that's what I mean. You just try to close the subject and forget about it.
Selen: I have my reasons, Celeste. Now please, I'd like to go back to my training.
Celeste: …I'll figure you out, Selen. I promise you that. See you later.
Selen: …?
Rank B-
Selen: …
Celeste: Whew. Ha! Yah!
Selen: Hmm.
Celeste: Huh? Aaah! Selen! How long have you been standing there?
Selen: A few minutes.
Celeste: How did you sneak up on me like that? I can sense most people from several yards away. But you…
Selen: I don't know. But… Celeste, you've been bugging me a lot lately. It's affecting my concentration, and I'm messing up things I thought I mastered.
Celeste: Um, I'm sorry? What do you mean? I thought I was leaving you alone.
Selen: No, I mean what you said a few days ago. You said you'd figure me out, and it's been bugging me.
Celeste: Ah.
Selen: So, for the sake of my studies, just tell me what you want to know. I'll tell you as much as I can.
Celeste: Really?
Selen: I… I have a feeling, Celeste, that you may be able… able to understand.
Celeste: I'll do the best I can. So, why are you so quiet?
Selen: I don't really like people, I guess. I find it hard to trust them, I suppose. I don't want to be like that, but every time I let my guard down, I… something happens and I have to close myself up again.
Celeste: …Like I have.
Selen: What?
Celeste: I'm sure you're aware that I'm a Branded.
Selen: Yes.
Celeste: I used to hope that someone would help me, but every time I tried to approach someone, they chased me out and some tried to kill me. Abomination. Half-breed. Devil. That's what they used to call me. Some still do, when they find out.
Selen: …I see. And eventually you just started hiding, right?
Celeste: Yeah. How did you know?
Selen: That's what I've done. I… things have happened in my past that draw attention to me. I hide because of it.
Celeste: Oh.
Selen: What gave you the strength to go on?
Celeste: …My father always told me to keep my head high and live life to the fullest. Never look back. Be proud of my heritage. And I am.
Selen: I see.
Celeste: What?
Selen: I… need to think some things out. I'll see you later, Celeste.
Celeste: You too, Selen.
Rank A-
Selen: Celeste!
Celeste: Hi, Selen. What's up?
Selen: Do you have a moment? I need to speak with you.
Celeste: I'm not in any big hurry. What is it?
Selen: Um… I've been thinking about what you said about your father. Is it strange that we seem to be in similar positions because of totally opposite reasons?
Celeste: What do you mean?
Selen: My father was the reason I feared people. He… I disappointed him when I sparred with an aspiring Begnion soldier twice my age. I've never been good with physical weapondry. But he… I ran away from home. And never looked back.
Celeste: Eh… I see. Is that why you were so jumpy when you first joined up with this little group?
Selen: Yeah. We were pretty close to my father's land. I kept expecting him to show up. …Celeste, will you allow me to tell you something? Please, keep it secret from anyone else. Especially Merric.
Celeste: You have my word, Selen. Go ahead.
Selen: I… for several years, I wandered Begnion, trying to survive. I felt like my life was worthless. I… I almost threw it away several times.
Celeste: …!
Selen: I never actually attempted it, but I considered it. But something kept nagging me that I needed to survive. Maybe it was the spirits, speaking to me even then.
Celeste: Selen, listen to me. If you ever need anything, let me know, okay? I'll be there for you. I care about you, okay?
Selen: …You what?
Celeste: Well, you're my friend, right?
Selen: …Friend?
Celeste: Yeah. I'd like to think so.
Selen: …We're friends. I… I don't think I've ever really had a friend.
Celeste: Hah hah ha!
Selen: What?!
Celeste: You act more like a Branded than I do. But don't worry, Selen. Okay?
Selen: Heh, all right. Oh, and Celeste?
Celeste: What?
Selen: Thank you.
Celeste: You're welcome. Just come find me if you ever feel like talking.

Celeste and Selen's support from Storm of Shadows. For more, go to [link]
Jeez, this is probably the longest support I've written. But it says a lot about Selen's personality and what his life has been like. I'll probably upload the rest of his tomorrow.
