Bellatrix gritted her teeth at the sight of the Al Bhed touching Emilou so casually. Surely not? It was such a familiar gesture, an affectionate one even, and yet he was Al Bhed filth and she was a Black.

A disappointing Black, a tainted one, to be sure, but still a Black.

It looked as if Emilou could add blood traitor to the list of her crimes against the family. She may not have been stricken from the family tree before, but she would be once Bellatrix returned.

At least the girl had the good sense to get her disgusting partner out of Bellatrix's sight.
