Tangled in Moonlight: Unshifted (Ava and Lucas)

Chapter 394

Chapter 394 Ava: Casual Conversation

"Hot chocolate delivery!" Lisa's voice carries across the clearing, and I turn to see her balancing a large tray of steaming mugs.

The kids swarm her like hungry puppies, but Lisa navigates through them with practiced grace. Her skin looks almost translucent against her dark sweater, and shadows pool under her eyes.

"Thanks for the assist." I help her distribute the mugs, making sure each child has a secure grip before letting go. "Careful, it's hot."

"Blow on it first," Lisa reminds Tommy as he tries to gulp his down.

We settle on a nearby log while the kids huddle in small groups, sipping their treats and chatting about their successful hits during training. Lisa's hands tremble slightly as she wraps them around her mug.

"Are you feeling okay?"

"I'm fine." Lisa takes a careful sip. "Why?"

"You don't look fine. You're pale as the snow."

Lisa's free hand flies to her cheek. "Really? I feel fine, though." She presses the back of her hand against her forehead. "No fever or anything."

"Then what have you been up to?"

"Oh." Lisa brightens. "I was actually training with something new the Grand Sage created." She extends her pinky finger, showing off a delicate silver ring. "What do you think?"

I squint at the unremarkable piece of jewelry. "It's... pretty?"

"It's not much to look at," Lisa admits. "But it can send up an emergency flare if I'm in trouble. It also has a secondary function, though. It can send a ten-second recording to a paired ring that the Grand Sage has. He's been fiddling with the technology from the magic watches he created."
