Mana and Raven walked back to their rooms together. Mana could see Raven buzzing with tension, and knew that he was itching to run a diagnostic spell on her again, and his anxious little face was just too adorable.
Finally, when they reached Mana's door, Mana invited him in.
"How are you feeling? Do you feel any discomfort? Do you feel dizzy?" Raven asked anxiously in a rush as soon as the doors closed behind them.
Mana laughed and pinched Raven's cheeks playfully (by now, Mana could honestly admit that she was addicted to pinching Raven's fair cheeks – the boy was just too adorable!).
"I am perfectly fine," she said. "Don't worry so much, my dear little darling." She held out her hand. "Here, you can check for yourself – I think I have improved again, from how energetic I'm feeling right now."
Raven immediately took Mana's hand and ran a diagnostic spell quickly. A moment later, relief washed over his beautiful face and his rainbow eyes sparkled.
I just HAD to mention this - Azar's Elf Buddy, the WONDERFUL swil13 - has given a Magic Castle to Azar and Alya! Will be featuring really soon in the story!!
