The serious talk

Usually, it never happened but still, it was best to check it since she has been sea deprived for a long time. 

But alas, Archer beat her to it. 

Elvina closed her eyes. No, no, there should not be anything visible. 

Damn. She touched her neck, feeling the burn there. 

''Elvina?" Archer frowned as he approached her. 

Elvina opened her eyes and pressed a palm to his eyes, ''Don't look at me.'' 

Archer snorted, ''No wonder women are so obsessed with makeup. You must be hiding your hideous self under it,'' he said. 

And for once, Elvina didn't have it in her to throw a sassy comeback at him because she was nervous. 

Claire must have rubbed it off on her. 

Archer grabbed her wrist and Elvina applied pressure on her palm, intending to keep it pressed on his eyes. But her powers didn't work. They never worked on him. 

She was just weak when it came to him. Physically and mentally. At times. At very rare times.
