AFTER LEXINE LEFT (2)

Christana looked to the side and frowned, planning to ignore her brother. She dusted the red bandana in her hand before folding it twice and tying it back around her head. Artin frowned at her actions and grabbed her hand. "Sister, please. You can confide in me about anything. You are aware of that, are you not?"

Christana turned to Artin, and her face bloomed up as she smiled. She raised her hand and placed it on his cheek. This was the first time she was initiating contact ever since they were younger, and Artin slightly rubbed his cheek against her palm. "If I need anything Arty, you will be the first to know of it without a doubt."

"But…" He hesitated.

Christana shook her head and took back her palm. She condensed a small amount of her energy signature in her palm and created a small ball of fire the size of a ping pong ball. "See. I can still use my element just fine. I promise that I am alright." Her lips pulled up in a smile after she said those words.
