.Sibling Rivalry
Your sister has come to live with you, because she's been released from the abbey. You both know why she didn't get her own place, even with enough money. And you both know enough about eachother not to mention it. Lloyd has also been living with you, because the exsphere quest ended. 'When you save the world, you get followers, and having followers means less work for you.'
You tell him.
Because you have always had followers - clueless girls with no mind or consideration for others. Which was fine, because one-night-stands and sweet words from a stranger were all you could handle back then.
So Seles starts to act weird when you kiss Lloyd in front of her. She gets mad at you - but acts painfully sweet to Lloyd. You can see that she's acting, and you almost think that he can too. But you've seen enough love-sick teenage girls, crushing on whomever they meet because they don't know them well enough not to idealize them. So you know.
And you always thought she was jealous of you. That she had a little crush on Lloyd. Because siblings should fight over things and Lloyd IS quite a looker. His boyish personality and strong dreams tend to draw people in, and he has quite a fan base among your own fan base. So it made sense, that it was him she wanted.
You listen to her sugar-coated words to him, and don't stop her from slapping you and locking herself in room all day; she's a girl, and they act out like this, you tell Lloyd. He seems resolutely certain she does not like him as much as you think she does.
So things get worse. You start getting into screaming matches with her over silly things, and Lloyd starts to get frustrated at how fake she is when she's near him.
You listen to her half-unintelligible rambling, and can't even think straight enough to stop Lloyd from hitting you. He locks himself in your room, and you're stuck in a room with your sister. Your sister who has just confessed her love.
She slaps you, but it doesn't show, because Lloyd hit you there only a moment ago. And then she stands on her toes and kisses you.
And for once, you have absolutely no idea what this girl is thinking.
