MORE THAN CAPABLE | Riven

"Strangle him with plants?" Luella said jokingly, wiping the crust off her mouth.

Terra furrowed her eyebrows at the girl, "Riven told you about that?"

Luella reflected on her friend's action in confusion, "about what?"

But before the earth fairy had a chance to reply, Aisha carried on about the Bloom situation. "We'll think of something, I'll text you."

The four girls nodded in agreement and went on to talk about other things like one of Terra's many trips around Alfea or the difference and better music tastes of the group.
Luella was happy with the suit she got stuck with, fairies of each kind. Personalities are outbreaking in different ways. It was nice to have a conversation without drama — it made Luella feel as if there weren't Burned Ones coming closer to the school by the hour and if Bloom wasn't hiding secrets. Also that she had feelings for a specialist.

Her book lay forgotten on the side as she chatted.

At last, a moment of rest.

-

There was nothing to do in the suite.

All her friends were out except for Musa who was with Sam, she didn't want to know what they were doing.

Her eyes wandered around the room, looking for something to grasp her out of her boredom. Maybe someone...

A knock came on the door.

"Musa?" Luella questioned, knowing she was the only suite member inside.

A head poked through the door, "Not Musa, but sure can provide entertainment."

"Riven?" Luella said in surprise, her eyebrows raised.

He smiled, coming fully into the room. "Don't look that surprised to see me. It hurts," he stated, taking a look around the room.

"You don't seem the type to throw surprise parties," Lue replied.

Riven thought about it for a moment as his attention focused on a photo.

Luella got up from her bed and stood near Riven, seeing the photo. "That's my brother," she answered for him. "He's coming to Alfea next year."

It was her and her brother, outside their home holding training swords after a practice fight. Luella had a cut on her face but in the photo, she was laughing, clutching the sword by her side.

"I can tell," he responded. "He's got your eyes.
When they're not glowing blue."

"Thanks?" Luella laughed, not knowing what to say.

"What? I'm not joking! Look me in the eyes."

They turned to face each other as Riven held the photo near her face. She could see him look to the side where the photo is, then back to her a few times before his gaze began to hold for a moment too long.

Magix, it was hard to look away. Hard. The gaze he gave was one of admiration. All that and way more. Then, a change happened. The hazel turns into a diamond glow. A growing addiction of his.
