After a while of some deep breathing, Raven exhaled, recovering from being kissed into a horizontal coma by Siris.
He cleared his throat, still adjusting his sitting posture in a way that suspiciously resembled strategic concealment. "Alright… moving on."
Arietta sat beside him once again, now gripping a cup of tea with both hands like she was imagining crushing it into dust. "Yes. Moving on."

She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, trying very hard to look composed—and failing adorably.
"I haven't forgotten you, Lia." Raven reached into his spatial ring and pulled out a delicate, emerald-green crystal orb that shimmered with threads of gold inside. "This is a Seed of Verdance."
Lia's eyes widened. "That's..."
Then, she tilted her head. "What is it?"
Selena deadpanned. "Why did you act surprised if you didn't even know what it was?"
