With his mouth slightly opened...

Raven remained motionless for a while, he's still trying to take in the information of his newly evolved skill. His eyes stayed on the transparent system window, the text carved into his mind as if it had been branded there permanently.
The weight of what he just acquired pressed down on him harder than the aura itself.
"Should we start?"
"Hm?"
Then what snapped Raven out of his stupor was Ruby's voice. Her tone wasn't demanding, but it carried enough weight to pull his thoughts back into the present moment.
"..."
Ruby noticed that Raven seems to be a little different than usual... She could tell something was running through his head, something heavy enough to make even him space out.
"Are you okay?"
So she straight up asked him if something was wrong. Ruby didn't hesitate, because if she didn't ask, she knew he would never say anything himself.
And it's not like the two of them are strangers.
