As he spoke, he slowly raised one hand toward the ceiling like an old actor performing on a giant stage.
The sunlight from the window fell across half his face, making him look strangely dramatic despite the fact that he was sitting on the floor beside a bookshelf.
Rosel stared at him with full focus.
Nathaniel slowly leaned closer toward her and lowered his voice.
"You've read about the Revengers, right?"
Rosel nodded so hard that both her ponytails bounced wildly behind her head.
"Yes! They're the superheroes who saved the world!" she said excitedly before suddenly pausing mid sentence.
Confusion slowly appeared on her face and she blinked several times in a row.
