Smashing the Challenger

The trio wandered into the garden, their strides easy, matching the laid-back vibe of their reunion.

Zinnia, eyeing her friend with curiosity, started circling Lyra like a playful predator. Then, without warning, she reached out and gave her friend's chest a cheeky squeeze.

"Hmm, still flat as ever," she teased, a smirk playing on her lips.

Lyra looked down at herself, completely unbothered. "Well, it's not like I can make them grow."

Body issues? Yeah, she couldn't care less about that.

Not far off, Thierry's face flushed bright red. "Uh, hello? I'm standing right here! Could y'all maybe turn it down a bit?"

Both girls turned to him in perfect sync, amusement glinting in their eyes. Thierry, for the umpteenth time, was reminded that these two were far from your typical girls.
