Chapter 91: Interruption
"U-uh...h-hey, Celia. Can...can we talk?" Remarked Raven as he knocked on Celia’s open door, startling her.
He cringed slightly as his voice cracked at the end, his expression quite visibly tense and anxious.
"H-huh? Oh, um...hey, R-Raven. Y-yeah, sure...come in," She nodded, as she sat up with a nervous look on her face.
Raven walked into her room, failing to notice that Ravella had followed him, despite his senses, as she covertly peered in through the open doorway curiously.
"Come on, you can do this bro, you’ve got this! Go for it!" She cheered him on internally.
"S-so, uh...what’s up? What did you want to talk about?" Celia asked him, fidgeting slightly as her gaze darted about.
"W-well, I...I, uh...," He trailed off shakily, before taking a deep breath and slowing exhaling, composing himself before meeting her gaze and stating, "Alright, here goes. I wanted to say-..."
"Hello!? Guys!? Where is everyone!? We’ve got a serious situation and-...hm? Oh, hey, Ravella. What’re you doing?" Suddenly came Colt’s voice, interrupting Raven.
"H-huh? I, uh..."
"W-wait, what’s going on?" Inquired Celia in bemusement.
"Oh, good, you’re both here. Lexia, go find Aster and Tacitus, tell them what’s going on, I’ll tell these three while you’re at it," Remarked Colt, as he stepped in front of the doorway.
