Sunday, [8:00 PM].
Still at Ruby's room.

"Are you okay now?"
Keara asked Raven, her voice calm but with a faint trace of worry hidden under it.
"Yeah, it was no big deal to begin with."
Raven responded.
"I just lost consciousness because of mana exhaustion."
He took a small breath and added that.
And then, he followed a warm smile, the kind that was meant to reassure Keara even if he still felt the dull weight of fatigue pressing against his body.
Anyway— Raven is currently lying on Ruby's bed as he's still pretty tired, his arms resting limply on his sides, his legs stretched out like all the strength had been drained from them.
Meanwhile, at the corner of the room, Ruby is squinting her eyes while looking at him, her lips slightly pursed as if she was analyzing every detail of his current state.
Raven noticed her stare almost immediately.
"Haha..."
And all he could do is laugh awkwardly, the sound coming out softer than he intended.
