Teacher

Ling sat cross-legged on the sofa, watching with a small smirk as Edward pointed to different arrays on the page of a simple alchemy book.

"This array is one of the first I learned growing up. It's really simple, I promise. It just takes a piece of paper and shapes it to what you want… See? This one is a crane."

Elysia nodded enthusiastically and smiled bashfully up at Edward with big, innocent eyes. She 'oohed' politely at the paper bird.

"You wanna try?"

Again, she nodded, and did so with such vigor that her two ponytails slapped around violently. With a fresh piece of paper, and a shiny black pen, Elysia began to show her teacher just how intently she had been listening. Her small hand gripped the pen awkwardly, the patch of skin between her eyebrows wrinkled, and her tongue slid out of the corner of her mouth in determined concentration.

Her teacher smiled, and ruffled her pigtails fondly.

Ling chuckled silently from his spot on the sofa, and wondered if he should be worried about his new, adorable competition.
