RILEY
Riley frowned slightly. "I do believe I am capable of defending myself, it's not like I'm helpless," She added a small shrugg at the end, or I can fix it all with my powers.
The girl easily sensed his lightly hurt feelings, and felt a small wave of guilt rise on her cheeks, making them turn into a light shade of cotton-candy pink. Sometimes she could be as dumb as a rock, not paying much mind of how her feelings might affect others, even though this rarely happened. He was just... Well, different. Since the start, since one of the first things he told her was "quickening" her name as if it already wasn't easy enough, he had started on an off side with him, but not one she bothered too much about. Afterall, she and her brother would go back to their world in no more than a day, casting a quick spell on the way to make sure none of them remember this, so, it really wouldn't matter at the end, but she surely didn't want him or herself to have a bad day in any way.
Seeing him fiddle with a string told her he was trying to get his mind into something, certainly not her. "But... You're right," As soon as she said that, she regreted it, but hoping with all her heart that it would make it slightly better, "It's always helpful to have a friend help you throughout the day."
