"I saw that very image a few times in my father's universe," he replied to the image Lydia painted for him. "Yet I never experienced it," he said, but left it at that as he suddenly felt both uncomfortable and bad. Here was Lydia, his very rival, opening up to him, but he couldn't find it within himself to really open up.

Adrian shifted in the jacuzzi, "Listen, the very reason no knows Barakiel is my sister is because our powers are drastically different. She is capable of manipulating lightning and summon lances without speaking a word. We'd both prefer to keep the entire school in the dark, otherwise others might use it against us, and who knows how that'll make her look as a hero. Don't make me regret telling you, Lydia. "

Adrian rose from the jacuzzi and stepped out, deciding that he was growing more uncomfortable the longer he sat there, but he stopped and looked at her, "By the way, about what I said about your eyes and getting in a jacuzzi more often...I meant it," Adrian then proceeded to grab a towel and walk away.
