One of his buddies behind him let out a barking laugh. "Who even are you clowns? Gonna throw flowers at us, greenie?"
Another scoffed. "Why don't you three piss off before you get hurt? This ain't your business."

Riven tilted his head lazily, but his voice came sharp. "Try anything, and I'll let Ember here show you how well she digests garbage."

Corrin yawned, voice colder than usual. "Honestly, I was in a good mood. Now I'm considering breaking curfew just to rearrange your jawline."
"Big words for someone still in diapers," one of the guys spat.
Riven's eyes narrowed. "Want me to show you how big my fists are?"
"You punks looking for a beating?" the first guy growled, losing his fake smile. "This ain't your class. Stay outta it before you regret it."
