bahaha precanon!celine waking up at like 3am to meditate and drink her tea peacefully to start her day before her two wards start trying to kill each other. except she comes out of her room to see mira and rumi already awake and strangling each other on the kitchen floor. the girls immediately separate when they see celine. celine completely ignores them as she makes her way to the kettle. she pauses before leaving with her tea (rumi and mira have been frozen for the six minutes it took her water to boil) and looks at them.
“since you’re both up already, i expect you’re ready to start training, yes? get changed and start running.” Celine leaves the room, smiling faintly to herself as she hears a whispered argument start up behind and the distinct sound of someone being tackled violently to the ground.
BAHSDGHSGDF YEAH THIS IS BASICALLY IT!!!!!!!
celine was already deeply unhappy because she Heard Them before she ever left her room, and then she stood in the hallway leading into the kitchen for about five minutes while she watched rumi repeatedly slam mira's head into the ground while mira was busy going "GRRUUAUUGHTRMGMRUUUAUGUVKCK" and locking her jaw around rumi's arm and thrashing and alligator death rolling, and celine truly could feel the migraine coming on
they're like deer frozen in headlights when she comes out and steps past the alligator death rolling incident. they're both staring at her with the biggest widest most terrified eyes ever and they're occasionally looking at each other going "? SHOULD WE RUN" with their eyes BAHSGDHDGF
really celine's only reprieve IS making them run laps. she's going "it's very impressive of you both to be up so early with the intent of training. both of you will be exceedingly talented hunters in no time. go run 500 laps around the hanok and then 500 laps around the compound. in silence. mediate as you run." but this of course is a ruse because she just doesn't want to hear them bickering (it's not going to work sorry celine they're both breaking by lap 2)
she's watching from the window as rumi tackles mira to the ground. she's watching as they tumble down the hill. she's seeing rumi scramble into a tree while flipping mira off with Both fingers, tongue out. she's watching mira launch herself into the aforementioned tree. she's hearing branches break. she is So Tired.
celine thought the KILL era was the worst of them but then the Touching era began and she sort of yearned for the days where she only had two apprentices and they were both trying to kill each other, because the third is somehow worse. thank you zoey.
