Seraphine pouted, her arms crossed tightly over her chest as she stood by the edge of the pool, her golden eyes flashing with irritation. "Why can't we just bathe together, Nandya?" she insisted, her voice a mix of frustration and childish stubbornness.
Nandya, standing across from her with an exasperated sigh, shook her head firmly. "No, Seraphine. Absolutely not," she said, her tone steady but firm, not willing to budge.
Seraphine's frown deepened, her fiery spirit not easily dissuaded. She crossed her arms even tighter, her brows knitting in determination. "You're just being difficult," she muttered, her voice barely above a whisper. "I don't get why you won't let me."
Without waiting for a response, Seraphine's aura began to shift, her body glowing as her fiery powers surged. In a flash, she activated her Divine mode, her golden irises blazing with a new intensity as she floated slightly above the ground, casting a radiant glow around her. "Now you have to let me," she declared, her voice filled with authority.
But instead of being impressed, Nandya only felt her irritation spike. With a sharp exhale, she marched up to Seraphine and, without warning, pinched her cheek hard, her fingers digging in with an almost playful yet firm force. "You really are stubborn, aren't you?" Nandya snapped, her voice growing stern. "Stop using that ridiculous power for something so trivial!"
Seraphine blinked, a bit stunned by the sudden pinch, and her golden eyes narrowed, now less defiant and more embarrassed. "Ouch! What was that for?" she whined, her cheeks turning red from the playful scolding.
Nandya's expression softened slightly, but her tone remained firm. "Stop acting like a child. There are more important things to do than argue about baths." Her eyes sparkled with an edge of affection hidden beneath her irritation.
Seraphine's pout deepened as she turned her head, "Hmph!" She crossed her arms again, deliberately turning her face away, and in a childish gesture, she puffed up her cheeks, her lips forming a small, exaggerated pout.
Nandya rolled her eyes, a small smirk tugging at the corner of her lips. "You're impossible."
Seraphine huffed, but her eyes held a touch of mischief as she lifted her chin, clearly not ready to give up the fight. "You're no fun, Nandya."
