"Yours," Ivy snapped immediately, her voice laced with venom and zero patience. "Obviously yours if you keep standing there asking stupid questions."

"Can you think about survival for once instead of death?" Kaden added, irritation dripping from every syllable as he stomped on another ant with unnecessary force.
"She was just asking a question," Lyra said softly, frowning in quiet disapproval.
"I can't really tell what your problem is with Nyx," Theo muttered, glancing between Ivy and Kaden with a tired sigh.
They both shrugged it off like it meant nothing. Like I meant nothing. Just another fleeting annoyance in the grand chaos of Morvalis.
