He smiled warmly at her and Sky had to look away, to shield herself from the blinding radiance.
"Come on in." He said in his musical voice. Turning, he told the room, "It's Aven and he's brought Glace and another classmate of ours." Sky's eyes darted to his retreating back in shock. He'd acknowledged her as one of his classmates.
