Seraphina sat silently in the first row of desks, ignoring the gazes on her back and looking at her desk mate.
Seraphina's gaze lingered on Lily for a moment longer, her smile softening as she attempted to start a conversation. "I am Seraphina," she spoke with a smile.
A second later, Lily turned her head, looked away from her book slightly, and said, "Lily."
"You can call me Sera, if you'd like." Lily simply nodded in response, her attention quickly returning to her book. Seraphina took the hint and stopped the conversation as she let out a sigh.
Seraphina thought to herself, 'She's the silent type, I guess.' She was about to turn her attention elsewhere when Lily's quiet voice sounded beside her.
"What was going on before I arrived? I can still sense the remnants of mana in the air," Lily asked quietly, her attention still on her book.
