"Stop running your small brains, kids," Lilith chuckled, her piercing blue eyes gleaming with amusement. She leaned back slightly, crossing her arms as she observed the two with a faint smirk. "You both should worry about each other, not me," she added, her tone filled with subtle meaning.
Ava and Nova immediately froze, exchanging nervous glances.
"W-What do you mean by that?" Ava stammered, her face turning slightly pink.
"Yeah, Lilith," Nova spoke, trying to sound nonchalant but failing miserably. "What exactly are you implying?"
Lilith's smirk deepened as she picked up her glass of water, casually swirling it in her hand. "Oh, nothing," she said lightly, though her eyes glinted mischievously. "You two just seem… very compatible sometimes."
Ava gasped, her eyes widening. "No way! Nova? Seriously?" She waved her hand dismissively, though her cheeks were now visibly flushed.
