Without showing much in the way of emotion, Selena listened to Adrian's rebuttal. Since she had a decent, if not good, understanding of Arcane magic and the different mindsets that came with it based on traditions, she tried to understand Adrian's thought process. Just because he had left Thay, didn't mean he had suddenly been converted to the side of good. He still had ingrained behaviors and thoughts. Using an evil or near evil creature apparently didn't mean much to him. It probably wasn't an evil act in his mind. This, was the crux of the matter - for the most part. He saw his actions as alright, when others almost certainly would not.<br/><br/>Being a Priestess of Mystra, Selena had learned that Midnight, now Mystra, hated evil but had had to learn the hard way to remain neutral in all affairs regarding alignment. She was responsible to the Weave and its proper use and protection. It was not her place to police evil-related affairs. Thus, Selena realized that it was better to lay off Adrian. She had said her peace and now it was time to let him do as he would. If he did anything against Mystra, the weave, or committed any true acts of evil, then they would have words once again.<br/><br/>"Suffice it to say, I do not agree with you. However, your companion has a point. We have greater matters to attend too." With that, Selena walked off - following behind Wren. Selena said no more of the bats, but she clearly would have nothing to do with the fiendish creatures.
