Aldric had left the classroom with a transparent excuse about "preparing documents", leaving Ren alone with the three girls.
The initial silence was uncomfortable.
Cassia was the first to break it, leaning slightly forward. The movement made her tunic adjust in a certain way so that it stretched slightly over her curves, and Ren, being a completely normal adolescent, noticed. His eyes deviated for a fraction of a second before forcing himself to look up.
His ears heated slightly.
'Shit, don't look. Be professional, you're not the same as last year.'
Cassia saw the deviation of his eyes. And how he forced himself not to look.
'Interesting. He reacts but controls himself immediately. Training or game?'
"So, Ren," Cassia said with soft voice, "tell us more about you. Beyond what everyone already knows."
