"Lupercal," the white-clad Commander called and all the breath left Teleute's lungs as she stared at him in denial.
She could easily imagine the thoughts running through everyone else's mind. Firstly: Thank Serenity he didn't call me. Secondly: Wait, Lupercal is Teleute.
Maybe he didn't call me.
Maybe... I misheard him...?
Please, Serenity?
She felt, rather than heard, Dorias moving carefully away from her. When she turned to look at him, there was horror in his eyes.
Looking the other way she couldn't even see Prima, although that was probably because Umi had shoved her way past the others and was now staring at her from a distance of about three inches. "Heeee~ey, does that mean you killed me?"
How in the name of the Emperor does one answer that?
Abesent any verbal response, Umi apparently filled in the blanks and grinned broadly, revealing gaps in her teeth (the Space Wolf's had been muttering about how to replace them without coming to any conclusions Teleute was aware of) and then headbutted her.
There followed Teleute Lupercal's first encounter with the Black Legion when the Mournival were required to forcibly restrain the two girls (because Teleute may have mistakenly let Umi inside her guard and get the first shot in, but she was damned if she was going to let that be the end of the matter).
