Chapter 65: The beginning of training (Part 2)

"...Can you just tell us already? We've been standing here for a while," Ruby urged Lyra, her impatience evident. "What about Julius did you want to talk about?" 

Ava, though she didn't voice it, also appeared tired of the wait. They both focused their attention on Lyra, who was nervously glancing around, struggling to find the right words to start the conversation.

"Well… it's…" 

Speaking about it turned out to be far more embarrassing than she had anticipated. Feeling defeated, Lyra lowered her head. 

"I give up… let's discuss this later tonight… everyone meet up in my room at 22 sharp…" 

"What? After all this time? I'm dying to know now," Ruby complained. 

"I promise to tell you everything tonight. I'm sorry for wasting your time…" Lyra added.

At that, Ava sighed. 

"Alright, tell us when you're ready," she said, placing a comforting hand on Lyra's shoulder. 

Lyra's eyes grew a bit watery at the gesture.
