The one who was trying to talk to her even though she was ignoring him.
'… Arthur?'
Akamir narrowed his eyes.
From the distance, he could tell Zaina was clearly uncomfortable.
Her arms were crossed, and she was facing away from the boy.
Arthur, on the other hand, kept stepping into her space, trying to get her attention.
He started walking toward them.
'Let's try to be civil.'
He wasn't in the mood for another fight, but something about the way Arthur kept reaching out did bother him.
Zaina glanced up when she noticed him.
Her eyes lit up for a second—only for a second, though Akamir caught it.
Arthur followed her gaze and turned too, frowning when he saw who was coming.
He straightened, forcing a smile. "Oh. Didn't see you there, Akamir."
Akamir looked at him, then at Zaina.
"You alright?" he asked her directly.
Zaina nodded slowly. "Yeah."
Arthur glanced between them. "We were just talking."
"She wasn't talking," Akamir said, voice flat. "You were."
