The training floor steamed lightly from the clash of fire and ice.
Lily Croft let out a soft breath, lowering her hand as frost dissipated from her fingertips. Her long hair, slightly tousled, shimmered under the soft blue lights of Sector 2. Amy ran toward her, eyes wide with admiration and sisterly worry.
"Unnie!" Amy called, wrapping her arms around Lily.
"I'm fine," Lily chuckled, hugging her back. "Just a little warm-up."
Sefe stood nearby, arms crossed, her scarf swaying with invisible drama.
A faint smile tugged at her lips, but it vanished quickly as she turned her head.
"Tsk. You're lucky I held back," she mumbled, flames gently flickering at her fingertips.
She turned to face them, her grin returning like a switch.
"So?" she asked with a wide pose, sparks bursting from her palm. "How's your amazing senior Sefe?"
"You were cool!" Amy said brightly. "Great job, unnie!"
Sefe grinned wide.
"Kukuku. Of course."
