Sure, it was aggressive, but Selphie could be<em>extremely</em>bold when the stakes were low. She smiled, chewing like a cow for the express purpose of hoping to irritate him. She wasn't sure it would work - he seemed to be far too mature to be laid low by such childish tactics, but it never hurt to try. Besides, if she wasn't spending her time teasing him, she would have to spend it thinking about what Risppt had said. What if the goblins<em>had</em>moved into the Shadow Vale? The apple was tasting less sweet by the moment and by the time she swallowed, her appetite had vanished.<br/><br/>She tossed the unfinished fruit into the dirt. It was a wasteful gesture, but she still had family money to pull from. Little did she know that would soon be coming to a halt...<br/><br/>“Do we just walk up,” Sarissa inquired, gesturing towards the farm. “Or should we poke around quietly first?”<br/><br/>"If it is goblins in there, and not just some poor farmers, maybe we can draw them out?" Alec asked tossing a rock in the air. "Bet I can hit the roof from here?"<br/><br/>If anyone was waiting on her to offer a sensible solution, they'd be waiting for a long time, but Selphie couldn't stay silent. She was worried about what would happen if there<em>were</em>goblins and Alec<em>did</em>draw them out. She waved a hand at Sarissa, declining the offer of jerky. Dried meat didn't sit well in her delicate stomach.<br/><br/><strong>"But then they'd run at us,"</strong>she said in a voice that almost sound frightened. She cleared her throat, upset at the weakness, and tried again.<strong>"I mean, we're out in the open here."</strong>It almost seemed like she was supporting Sarissa's suggestion to 'poke around' and sneak up on the house, but Selphie was adamantly against that idea, also. In fact, any idea that involved confrontation seemed like a bad idea! Feeling like she was starting to sound like a coward, she lamely added:<strong>"Archers could pick us off."</strong>
