Aiz: Hm...

Riveria: Aiz?

Aiz: *What should I do?*

Riveria: Aiz!

Aiz: *Maybe I should-*

Riveria: Aiz!!

Aiz: A-Ah?

Snapping out of her thoughts, Aiz blinked rapidly, her golden eyes meeting Riveria's sharp gaze.

Riveria's brows furrowed, the faintest trace of concern breaking through her composed expression.

Riveria: You're distracted, is everything alright?

When Riveria asked, Aiz's fingers instinctively began to fidget, twisting around each other in a nervous rhythm. Her golden eyes darted downward, avoiding Riveria's piercing gaze, as uncertainty and hesitation seemed to weigh heavily on her.

Noticing the uncharacteristic display of unease, Riveria's expression softened slightly, her sharp eyes narrowing in quiet understanding.

Riveria:*Something's definitely bothering her*

She thought, her concern deepening.

Riveria: *Sighs* Tell me what's bothering you.

Aiz: I-It's nothing...

She muttered quietly, her fingers still fidgeting in her lap.

The two sat in the quiet solitude of the Twilight Manor's library, the warm rays of sunlight streaming through one of the windows. The light danced across the polished wood and the rows of bookshelves, lending a serene atmosphere to the room. Aiz sat stiffly across from Riveria, her hands fidgeting in her lap, betraying her nerves. Riveria, noticing her unease, gently set the book she had been reading onto the table beside them, her sharp eyes focusing intently on the troubled girl before her.

Riveria: Come now, Aiz. It's easy to see when something's on your mind. Why not just say it?

Aiz hesitated, the silence stretching between them before she finally spoke, her voice quieter than usual.

Aiz: Bell's been training with the elf from the Astrea Familia lately. I've been noticing him use her style when we train together...

Riveria: *Oh? Is Aiz perhaps... jealous?*

A soft, knowing smile tugged at Riveria's lips as the realization dawned on her.

Riveria: And how does this make you feel?

Aiz: I-I don't know... It just... Feels strange. But... I don't like it.

Riveria: Hmm. It seems like it's troubling you more than you realize. Perhaps you should step outside, take a walk, and let your thoughts settle.

Aiz: Do you really think that would help?

Riveria: *Smile* It helps me too when I'm feeling troubled. A bit of fresh air can do wonders to clear a cloudy mind.
