The Guild Captain and the Academy mages of Ravens Grave had arrived back at the Academy grounds not long ago.
They were all walking away from the Academy's stables and heading toward the main building, crossing the full open field that separated the two structures.
As they made their way across the grounds, Aiden and Arianna found themselves walking together, while Kayden kept watchful eyes on them from a certain distance behind.
"Mind if I ask," Aiden said to Arianna, "how did you get Kayden to join this guild?"
Arianna giggled softly. "Isn't it obvious? He's in love with me."
"To be honest, I didn't want to assume," Aiden replied, turning back to see Kayden's eyes staring at him with that perpetually angry look.
Arianna continued with another giggle, "He's been in love with me ever since we were kids, so I told him I'd go out with him if he agreed to join Ravens Grave."
