The early morning air was crisp and cool, carrying the faint scent of dew-kissed grass as the first rays of sunlight filtered through the oaks lining the stone path to the Academy.
Brandon, Eira and Ravene are walking together on their way to the Academy.
Eira clung to his left arm, her fingers wrapped tightly around his bicep, her other hand tugging at his cheek with just enough force to make him wince.
Her blonde ponytail bounced with each step, her green eyes sparkling with a mix of irritation and affection as she glared up at him.
"You… enjoyed another weekend with my mom,"
Brandon smiled dryly, his head tilting slightly as he glanced down at her, "You know about Florence. I can't deny her wishes."
Eira's lips twitched in irritation, a soft "Haa…" escaping her as she released his cheek, leaving a faint red mark.
She hugged his arm tighter, her shoulder brushing against his as they walked, "Persuasive, huh?"
