Nona practices in the mirror.
She tries on Palamedes's smile, the unwitting curve on the corner of his lips when, deep in thought, he devises a new path to be explored; she tries on Pyrrha's booming laugh, striving to reach the accompanying spark in her eyes when someone surprises her; she tries on the proud tilt of Corona's visage, chin up, the swagger in her step.
She wouldn't land Camilla if she tried her, but she doesn't: that serenity of bearing, that fortitude of conduct —those are for Nona, Nona only, to wrap herself into; not to extend to others.
