As Dylan and Asher continued their relentless back-and-forth, their banter filling the infirmary with unnecessary noise, Ariana sat off to the side, visibly unimpressed.
"Could you two quiet down already? Liam is still recovering, you know," she said with a sigh, rubbing her temples.
Asher shrugged, his usual arrogance on full display. "If he's still asleep, that's on him. Weaklings need their beauty rest, I guess."
Dylan smirked. "Says the guy who just woke up five minutes ago. Pretty sure you were snoring loud enough to shake the walls."
Asher shot him a glare, but before their argument could escalate, Ariana's attention snapped to Liam. His eyes fluttered open, the faintest groan escaping his lips.
"Hey, guys, he's awake!" Ariana called out, her voice a mix of relief and excitement.
"Well, look who decided to join the land of the living," Asher said mockingly, turning to Liam with a proud smirk.
