The young teacher knelt down with a warm smile, her face radiating kindness. "Hello, little ones! You must be the new students. Which one of you is Elias, and which one is Dorian?"
Little Elias quickly raised his hand. "Pretty teacher, I'm Dorian!"
Dorian blinked, about to speak, when Elias leaned in close to his brother's ear. "This teacher is so fun. Don't say anything. Let's see if she can figure out who's who!"
Dorian pursed his lips, hesitating. Elias quickly added a tempting offer: "I'll give you my share of snacks tonight if you stay quiet!"
Though their voices weren't loud, the teacher heard them clearly. She smiled knowingly and looked warmly at Dorian.
Eyeing the teacher and thinking about the promised snack, Dorian obediently closed his mouth.
