"Well, that was a lot more stressful than I had hoped for…"
Letting out a tiny sigh as he dropped his head, sitting on a lavender sofa placed within a large, open waiting room filled with the other passing participants, Ren closed his eyes.
Patting his head gently, the azure-haired girl smiled, sitting beside him, "You did great."
"We did great."
Valerie corrected Iris' words; though it wasn't anything smug--far from it, holding her usual, confident smile, it was clear she was actually being a team player.
"Right."
Returning the attitude, Ren gave a triumphant smile and thumbs-up to the draconic, crimson-haired woman.
"I'm getting kind of worried though…"
"Hongse, right?"
"Mm."
Nodding her head in response to Ren's question, Valerie held a worried look in her usually feisty eyes, biting impatiently on the metal of her gauntlet.
"Don't worry--he'll back it through."
