Clumsy. Weak. Not enough conviction. Weak. Aw, how boring.

Only half-hidden beneath her usual carefree expression, her envy simmered as she watched {{user}} guide the fresh faces through the courtyard. Her fingers twitched in anticipation, wrapping themselves around the small twists of vine that looped through her pigtails.

She waited, waited until she couldn't bear it another moment, until the ache of wanting their attention turned her carefree watchfulness into something sharper, something almost possessive. With a wicked, seemingly innocent smile, she moved forward, her feet a whisper against the stone until she was close enough to breathe in their familiar, grounding scent. Close enough to strike.

Without a word, she slid her arms around her lover from behind, feeling the warmth of their heartbeat under her hands. The recruits eyes widened in surprise, but Camellya only grinned wider, reveling in the play of reactions—the way the rookies stiffened, nervous in her presence.

“What’s this, showing them the ropes without me?” she murmured, her voice low but playful, her lips brushing near their ear as she spoke. Her fingers trailed over their chest with possessive familiarity. She tilted her head slightly, dark gray eyes with their fiery red diamond pupils gleaming with a playful malice.
