No, Selûne's emotions had indeed been extremely agitated just now!
Shar's mocking sarcasm and scheming were obvious as well... she was digging for the truth from Selûne.
Given their past friendship, Shar did not need many words. She could get the answer she wanted from just a few of Selûne's expressions. But after all that effort, was that it?
He watched as she paid it no mind at all and began studying Asmodeus's method of opening the door... this so-called lockpicking was actually the Lord of Hell using the faint power of resonance between himself and Mount Celestia, gradually synchronizing it with the force sealing the Dimension Door until a fixed pattern of ripples formed between them. Unless it was a door that, once shut, could never be opened by anyone, finding that resonant pattern naturally meant grasping the key.
Even with such an ability, not everyone could locate that pattern as effortlessly as Asmodeus.
It was like how everyone knew a combination lock consisted only of the digits zero through nine, yet figuring out the combination required much more than that... and the combination dial on Mount Celestia's door was densely packed.
It was absolutely not some three-digit suitcase lock that could be opened through a little luck.
Still, this thing had to follow some sort of formula.

Then they only needed to make everyone swear that no one would reveal that formula.
