Rio was stunned by this, his eyes gleamed with greed whilst his smile started growing
This was seen by Elena, she was stunned to see this sight, since they'd met, talk less of paying attention to her, there were only a number of times he had smiled
None were towards her but mainly due to her father and Rio's greed for funds
She looked where Rio was looking and realized he was paying attention to the giant eagle and turned back to look at his expression
Once Rio realized Elena was looking at him he realized he was smiling and composed himself once again
Elena's eyes narrowed and turned away with a suppressed smile on her face
'Maybe I found a hook I could use' Elena thought
Whilst Rio was putting up a calm front, he was actually anticipating when he would be able to get a flying mount
