Let's commit the perfect crime.
Gasping, she gives another energetic bounce that begs for attention from her sister. "Ooh! I didn't end up going to that! Was it fun?! Maybe I'll go next year!" She'd heard there was drama but that kind of chaos is always more fun to witness in person. It's not as fun hearing about someone falling down a flight of stairs as it is to watch it happen.
Nova notices the person Caly's referring to, taking in the blonde hair and dark horns that do nothing to soften the steely blue intensity of her gaze. She looks like someone who doesn't know what glitter or fun are, but the way she's looking at the fire makes Nova think they might just be lucky enough to witness the portal in use, and before long, she's stepping forward without fear or hesitation as if the deadly fire is nothing more than a cloth curtain she can part.

The world around them fizzes with electricity, the clouds lighting up with a crack of lightning and a mournful cry that echoes through her ears beneath her hands.

Ice crystallizes at her feet, threatening to spread to wherever the threat is.

Nova
I'll steal your heart, and you steal mine.
