Dalia was smiling. Like her voice, she didn't feel the need to hold back her satisfaction. She might need her friend's help now...but she was feeling increasingly able rto deal with things on her own.
She turned, and was surprised to see Celeste standing there. "What do you want?"
Celeste paused, and looked at her. "I want to know what you seek to gain here."
Dalia shook her head. "You know...I wish to claim my right and experience something new."
"Outside is very different than anything we have experienced before," Carly said. "Are you sure you want that? Are you sure that is best for you?"
Dalia paused and looked at her. "Are you sure it isn't?" She countered.
"None of us knows this," Celeste said. "Why do you insist on this conflict with our newest sister?"
"I have tried to make peace with her...but she continues to fight me," Dalia insisted. "She ceded her right, I took mine...but she is not satisfied with that...She should learn the ways of the Sisterhood."
"Perhaps...but you have not embraced those ways either with your conduct." Celeste said.
"Then perhaps I am right to look elsewhere for my future," Dalia said. "Perhaps I am not meant to be here," she challenged. "I will defeat my challenger and see."
