I decided to add the Extras that I had from AO3 because some of the extras correlate with the story (and their development), but mainly the extras are random ideas or thoughts.

If there is any warning -which there probably won't be, but I'll do it just to be sure -I'll tell you ahead of time.

Green Eyes

Inaho was jealous, plain and simple. She was jealous of her best friend, Asseylum. Seylum was such a great friend, and Inaho's jealousy had gotten so bad, she had a dream of murdering her friend. She couldn't help how grating it was that she was marrying Slaine, but he was in love with Asseylum. He was so in love with her, he could never love Inaho like that.

Inaho was jealous of Asseylum's light, long golden hair that seemed to wrap around her face. A look befitting of royalty. She was jealous of Asseylum's beautiful emerald eyes that were a reflection of the ocean. Something that Slaine loved. Inaho was jealous of Asseylum's innocent personality that Inaho could never imitate. She was jealous of Asseylum's confidence, and -especially -the pull Asseylum had on Slaine's mind and body. Her smile was his happiness, and it hurt Inaho.

She could never measure up to Asseylum, the girl who saved Slaine and so much more. But Inaho wouldn't one to succumb to such emotions. If Slaine didn't love her yet, she would just have to try harder. At least in her mind, she could admit that she was in love with Slaine Troyard, not the advisor, not the count, just Slaine Troyard.

She was in love with his smile, his blushes, his laugh, his intelligence, his stride, his confidence, his hair, his eyes, his lips, his style, the way he walked, the way he cooked, how he eats, how he sleeps, the rise and fall of his chest, the way he arranges his shoes, the way he confides in her, and so much more. She loved him, and it was frightening. She had never loved someone like this before. Inko and Calm didn't even describe their love like this, and she was too afraid to say it out loud. She didn't want to jinx anything.

So Inaho returned to whatever task she had started: Asseylum's engagement party. With Klancain. A man who could never measure up to Slaine, in any aspect. Inaho was bitter that Asseylum still controlled Slaine, and that Asseylum would dare to reject someone as amazing as Slaine.

Stop idolizing him! It makes you look crazy. Rein it in, Nao. You're only setting yourself up for failure.

She nodded. If she kept being obsessed, she'd land herself in Slaine's position. Rejected by the one they loved, dependant on their presence.

Asseylum would want a nature type wedding. Anything with the sky and ocean in it. Seylum wasn't an alcohol drinker. Inaho didn't know about Klancain. It didn't really matter. Hard alcohol and professional, political parties did not mix.

Inaho had been a terrible friend to think any of those things about Seylum, who saw Inaho as her best friend. Inaho would make this the best party ever. Seylum could do some stereotypical teenager stuff. Inaho would supervise, and they would all forget about the EB and the war. It would just be friends together, having a great time.
