Ariana glared at the twins as their thoughts bombarded her mind. She sent her pet raven off and it flew out of the room back to her room. She shook her head and melted into the shadows, suddenly appearing out of the shadows of the twins, appearing behind them. She smiled maliciously.
"I would zip your telepathic minds shut to me," she told them in her mind coldly, glaring with her red eyes at everyone. She scooted back and dipped back into their shadows, staying there to observe.
"Besides, it was only two measly tricks with Nocturna," she suddenly added to the twins.
A loud banging suddenly sounded in the hallway, causing Ariana to be thrown off her concentration and thrown out of the twins shadows thanks to that. She glared at the entry to where the sounds were coming from and soon, a woman entered, smiling, her swords clanging together one final time before returning to her hips. Two other attendees (npcs, not the ones the other person made) came behind her, grimacing at the fact she had made such noise and warned the kids to their coming. "Check time, come on everyone!" she said, walking into the TV room.
((What are checks for?
