The women infront of him stood a little taller than him a sweet smile plastered on her face as she gazed at him expectantly.
She had long hair which was a pristine blonde cascading down her back as thin lines encompassed in a wavy manner,reaching below her thighs.
Her iris was a dark black colour,there being no border separating it from the pupil,making it so that she seemed to be an emotionless husk.
Yet the slight flickering of light in her eyes showed that she carried abundance of thought and feels.
Her clothing was quite peculiar.
she wore a coat that resembled a doctor's yet had noble frills at the end of her sleeves,her interior clothing was a dress with an harmonic combination of darkish-green accents and thick black colours made of silk,that clung to her body enough to make distinction of her ample chest and curves.
She was holding a bag of what seemed to be apples and other fruits.
Although the empty looking eyes were to be eerie,her smile and emotion being shown made it quite alluring.
Seeing him give her a curious stare a sly smile came to her pale pink lips,
A look of understanding passing through her facial expression.
Selera:"My, just because I am a doctor doesn't mean I can't dress up nice you know."
She winked at Arthur who just gave have her a small smile.
When Arthur first came to the village it was already past mid night, he was quite injured after surviving against a few assassination attempts and unfortunately facing a monster,but it was already past midnight and he wasn't expecting there to be any healers awake at the time so he had decided to give himself first aid and force through the pain for the night.
But fortunately,Selera was coming back from the forest after getting some herbs and after seeing his plight took him in to the nearest house to get him healed.
Surprisingly the home owner let them in for Selera to heal him without any complaints.
The time,although short, was enough to figure the small detail of her being a carefree type.
Arthur:"Well....i won't judge,but I just have to say that I have never seen a doctor so dressed before that's for sure."
Saying so he fully turned around,facing her completely.
Selera:"Ha! I knew I was really....good looking... "
As soon as he turned,a face of shock and horror came to be from Selera,her eyes wide and mouth agape.
Should have expected this.
Spoke Argus with a tired voice.
Selera:"O-Oh my god! What happened to you two!?"
She hurried over to Arthur,dropping the bag of fruits she held in her arms in order to check him.
Selera:"By the god,what is this? There as a wound on your abdomen with signs of stitches being placed—"
She gave him a look of frustration before going back to analysing his state.
Selera:"—That were opened on the way here,I can tell, you have lost too much blood,the dimming light made it hard to see but you look pale as hell! The lady has..... "
The moment she went to inspect the girl she noticed something instantly and went to use her mark, which was covered by a glove unlike Rall,to check on her.
A golden hue encompassed her hand as she hovered her body,and as she did her face became more and more worried.
Selera:"remnants of Vile berry poison? Or some type of poison that caused mana disturbance,her internal mana is thin and in disarray hinting at internal mana eruption.....she forcefully used mana despite knowing about the mana disturbance!? "
She looked at Arthur in an accusing and exasperated manner before cursing at him.
Selera:"What the fu*k is wrong with you! Aren't you her brother? How could you let her do something so reckless! "
He flinched at her suddenly shouting at him.
Seeing it her stern expression dulled as she spoke in a consoling and timid manner.
Selera:"I'm sorry.... I already checked her too, it's obviously lethal poisoning and you two probably didn't have much time,i can't blame either of you instead I can only commend you both for taking the most appropriate option to save your sister's life."
She gave Arthur a Proud smile, for which he gave a shocked expression before laughing painfully.
Arthur:"Dr. Selera,You seem to have misunderstood something,for your information...it was I who poisoned her."
For a moment,silence reigned.
The proud smile still remained on her face,her eyes remained stuck to his eyes as well.
Her eyelid twitched.
And suddenly her smiling face morphed to one of outrage.
Selera:"THE FU*K IS WRONG WITH YOU,YOU PSYCHO!!!?? "

(Arthur's Note:tell me how my writing is from now on)
The interior of Selera's house was well furnished with medical utensils in reach for personal use.
The room was well filled with greenery upon entry,plants of variety near the entrance where the shoes and slippers are lain.
Right after wards with a few steps forward the room becomes visible in total.
Two windows were on either side giving access to scenery as there was no railings stopping one to jump out of the house, yet was with a sophisticated lock system to deny unwanted entry.
To the left a mid sized blue and mellow sofa edged close to the window and wall, sat infront of a TV with two soft cushioned chairs placed on it's either side and in the centre was a black glass table,and a couple steps behind was a pristine sparkling kitchen,clean and immaculate so much so that it seemed to be from an extremely fresh house sustaining no stain.
And to the right was a set of stairs leading upwards diagonally to a door to the second floor and right next to the stairs on the ground floor was another door with a bright white plate on which was drawn 'Dr. Selera Beafort' in a black yet cartoonish manner.
Seated on one of the chairs drinking tea was Arthur who had already been healed by Selera.He was still suited in his previous blood soaked clothes and though he wished to change before sitting on the chair and ruining it... Selera ushered him to sit down and explain,threatening him heavily in the process.
And sat infront on the other side of the table was Selera who was massaging her temple,letting the hot and steaming tea become cold as she righted his words in her head.
Man....She is kinda scary isn't she?
No kidding,those scary eyes of her's only make it worse.
Arthur and Argus were discussing ways to calm down Selera after telling her, almost everything,it wasn't that they wanted to tell her everything,she just learned more than they said by asking seemingly innocent questions.
Perhaps it was because a certain number of patients tend to not say the truth or whole truth of what happened,leading her to just learn and adapt to get the information herself from the patient.
Are we sure doctors aren't just political masterminds?
.....i think...so?
After a whole minute of just massaging her temple and taking a few sips from her tea to relieve stress and mumbling to herself,she suddenly spoke.
Selera:"....So let me get this straight."
She held a tired expression as she rested her chin and head on her left hand.
Selera:"you're telling me,you are part of the Severa duke clan and was hunted down by their assassins for some reason until now,And you are almost killed by one,but survive and after seeing the girl that you tried kill to survived,instead of killing her you decided to save her by carrying her all the way from the middle of nowhere in leyfang to here,despite the extreme blood loss and severe wound.... Am I right? "
Arthur at this point was stressfully gulping down tea as he nodded,the tea was hot enough to slightly scald his tongue but he still continued to drink,thoughts of killing her came in mind.
Although what she extracted from him wasn't the whole truth,she had enough knowledge to be a problem.
She could easily sell him out in favour of gaining money or some other reward,thus keeping her alive would be difficult.
Huuuuu.....
He breathed through his nose as he calmed down.
I Already did something as stupid as trying to save my assassin,i can give her,a kind hearted Doctor Who helped me in need, the benefit of doubt.
He tried to sip more tea to avert his worries more but was only able to slurp in air.
Selera:"*Sigh*.....i'm sorry but what you told me..... I said it in a tame manner so it might not seem that bad,but it is,i can't tell if you're just stupidly kind or just stupid,I'm still gonna heal her,but...."
She took another sip of the tea and frowned dissapointedly at the fact that her tea was too cold for her taste and brought it down on the table and looked at him once more
Selera:"...what the fu*k is wrong with you? Please tell me, I need to know."
Hearing her,Arthur suddenly went still.
Suddenly a small curve indicating a smile formed on his lips.
He spoke in an amused manner, a great contrast to his previous demeanour.
Arthur:"Well first of all,all of it was mostly you reeling it in from me.Second of all, yes."
As he spoke,his attitude seemed more confident and his eyes become more..... Unsettling.
Arthur:"And finally..... "
His smile widened once more.
And it became wider,a grin too wide for Selera's comfort got etched onto his face, a sense of Glee permeating from it.
He pointed a finger at her as he spoke excitedly.
Arthur:"Isn't it obvious? I'm fu*king insane!"
At that moment Selera instantly stood up, a tired Expression on her face remaining still.
Selera:"Please get out, screw you."
Saying so she decided to tend to the assassin,completely ignoring Arthur.
And Arthur himself was seated still for a moment before his shoulders dropped down and his face fell as his thoughts wandered out.
Arthur:"Nevermind,i hate being insane."
Selera:"Did I not tell you to leave?"
...what did I do to deserve this?
