Adrian smirked as he leaned back in his chair, shooting a glance at Silver. "So, Silver, how's life with the academy's belle as your seatmate?"

Adrian snorted. "Cold as ever. But honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if she had her eyes on you already."
Elina, who had been quietly listening, suddenly felt a strange sensation in her chest. She wasn't sure why, but the way they talked about Silver's seatmate made her feel… off. She wasn't sure what to call it—discomfort, maybe?
