As we all know, Selkie is an extraordinarily humble person.

Today's edition of the Secret Commentary is empty, because Dave failed to come up with something for it.
What could POSSIBLY go wrong? 🙄
I can only see GOOD THINGS resulting from this exchange!
Ok, this is scary. I wonder if Selkie’s training included ethics…
Todd is in charge of that part of her training.
Oh Selkie, you’ve already gotten in trouble once for showing off Echo powers!
This is why you don’t give 8-year-olds on-board WOMD
dude 8 years olds ARE weapons of mass destruction.
When I was 8 i blew a tree stump close to 1000 feet in the air
And set fire to about an acre and a half of corn f ield.
Yes, true. But you can’t think about that too hard or you start to fear your entire species.
Wait…..
Going to hide in the mountains and become a hermit.
I wonder if this is where we’re going to get a hint of Amanda’s own abilities.
Selkie, you don’t want to kill your sister with your laser beam eyes. Kill mine instead.
HUMILITY IS FOR COWARDS!
I love this philosophy
Phrase I’ve never heard before… and now will never forget, to be sure. 😀
I don’t care how badly this ends up going, I love that Amanda’s reaction to Selkie’s powers (sure, she knew about them before, but now it’s being directly addressed) is ‘that’s so cool! I wanna see!’ It really drives home how healthy and sisterly their relationship has become. Watching it blossom into this has been a delight.
Absolutely, it’s charming and I love it
Charming? It’s like “The Turn of the Screw” with Ayn Rand as the ghost!
Keep super dangerous but really cool secret … or impress and bond with sister …
