This last pairing is a surprise and won't be revealed until the end... ;)

Some days, Priscilla found it tiresome having so many men who fancied her. It wasn't that she didn't appreciate their flattery or their company, and it was good to know someone would help her out during battle when she needed it.
But the constant flirtations, being treated as a fragile doll or unapproachable goddess, not to mention the worry that Raven might cause serious bodily harm to one of them was wearing down her patience.
And sometimes, she wondered if this was why she wasn't as close to the girls as she could be. Were they jealous? Did they secretly hate her for stealing the hearts of all those men?
So the next day, she chose to be only among other girls. She went riding with Isadora, helped Rebecca make lunch for everyone, picked flowers with Nino, listened to the pegasus knight sisters' banter...but the most memorable part of the day was visiting the shops with Serra.
"I'm surprised you wanted to hang out with us girls for a change," the cleric said. "I mean, with all the men who-"
"Oh, Elimine, please don't bring that up!" Priscilla groaned, immediately feeling guilty. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to sound so angry...it's just...I'm sick of it! These men are wonderful, and yet..."
"They treat you like glass and won't bother getting to know the real you?" Serra nodded. "Men are horrible like that, even the sweet ones are only interested in our beauty and charms. Why, I've had so many men declare their love for me I can't even tell who's being sincere anymore!"
Priscilla nodded; she knew Serra was exaggerating as usual, but her words were still a comfort.
"I just wish someone would like me for myself...because they think I'm wonderful, not just because I'm 'like a princess' or whatever compliments they keep trotting out," she sighed.
"You deserve someone like that. All girls do," Serra said, then a wicked grin crossed her face. "And if men can't give that to us..."
A rush of confidence and impulse struck Priscilla, and before she knew it her lips were pressed against the other girl's.
