“You two won’t get anything done unless you stop disappearing in the middle of the day!” Eleni’s voice came sharp and exasperated from the doorway, startling me so badly that the tiny ribbon of water I’d been shaping burst into a mist that sprayed straight into Zeph’s face.
He blinked, water dripping from his hair, and gave me a deadpan look. “Perfect timing,” he muttered.
I pressed my lips together, trying — and failing — not to laugh. “Oh, come on, it’s just a little water—”
“A little?” Eleni crossed her arms, glaring at both of us like an irritated older sister catching two children misbehaving. “I can smell ozone, smoke, and eucalyptus all the way from the kitchen! What the hell are you two doing up here, summoning a new element?”
Zeph shot her a flat look. “We’re training.”
