He sighed, lifting a hand to gently ruffle her hair. "Elesch, you're impossible."
Her grin widened, victorious already. It was very easy to manipulate her brother, which she was very good at; of course, she didn't do it for anything bad. But to spend time with him, and just cling to him, like how Freya does.

"Got it!" she interrupted, her chest puffed again in pride. "Elesch, the greatest sidekick in all of Inner Heaven, reporting for duty!"
Nova scratched the bridge of his nose, then pinched, exhaling through his teeth, a smile appearing as she made him slightly chuckle.
"Sidekick? That's not-ah, never mind."
