Drake thumped the table lightly in approval, his small dragon tail wagging behind him. "Good job, Sable! Seventh is lucky! Some people think seven is lucky, so you are lucky now!"
Luna gave a firm and approving nod, her golden-brown eyes warm despite her fierce expression. "You worked hard. I saw you muttering some science questions alone and counting for math with your fingers. You deserved this."
Felix allowed a small approving glance to cross his usually neutral face. "I am happy for you. You are always very focused in each class, even in math."
Kelpie beamed brightly, his gills fluttering with happiness for his friend. "We are all in the top ten! Everyone in our class is in the top ten! That means we are all smart! Even the shadows are smart!"
Sable looked around at all of them, his eyes glinting with happiness and emotion.
He leaned slightly toward Lucien again and whispered, his voice so small only his brother could hear, "I'm happy."
