"Hey, Brandon, you and Flora are cousins, right?"

The specialist looked up from his book. He was surprised to see Helia enter his room, and to ask such an obvious question. They didn't speak very often. Sky and him roomed together, Timmy would ask him for love advice, Riven would randomly barge in his room, asking for Sky to train with, and heck, even Nabu entered his room more often, often with a new strategy for the team.

"Yeah, why? Want me to braid flowers into your hair or something? Flora would get a kick out of that." He responded nonchalantly, though sitting up straight. He only received a small chuckle at the comment. To be honest, he found Helia slightly intimidating after the whole "I can grasp this entire monster with strings" thing. Years ago and it still impressed him. And did he even have to say anything else other than his god-given, blessed raven locks? He was most-definitely attractive, with the cool romantic image he held. However, this didn't stop him from his usual remarks. "Need love advice or something?" He cheekily said, wearing a smirk.

However, his expression turned to slight worry as he saw Helia look around as to see if anyone else was going to come, before closing he the door and nodding slightly. He sat at the edge of the bed. "Well, that was surprising." Brandon thought, before he turned his full attention on Helia. "Care to explain what's up?"

Brandon could feel the tense radiating from the pacifist-specialist. Helia wasn't one to show emotions often, so this was definitely a change. Brandon noted he spoke his response as steadily as possible, which in a usual situation would come easily.

"Yeah. You remember that famous skater that performed with Flora?" He asked, softly. Brandon nodded, adjusting himself. "Yep. Igor Dyamond? Major cutie, plus talent. I'd date him, if I didn't have my cuddle-bug." Helia raised his eyebrow at Brandon's comment. Brandon only shrugged, a grin on his face. "It's the truth." Helia rolled his eyes, allowing a small smile before he continued. "Yeah, him. Anyway, she told me that they've grown to be friends and email each other regularly. I completely trust Flora and I know this may sound petty, but she can be a little... oblivious sometimes. You know?" He hadn't realized how much he had been holding in until he actually spoke. Brandon noticed how weary the older specialist had actually been, his shoulders drooping a bit.

Brandon almost wanted to laugh. Helia was jealous over some guy? This was a kicker. Then again, Helia wasn't the type to get jealous over trivial things. And, his cousin could be quite oblivious to how charming she was…

"Yeah. I remember one time back in second year, some creep was obviously flirting with her and she just laughed, thinking he was being friendly. Man, I remember Riven beating him up so badly, the guy couldn't train for weeks after." He let out a slight chuckle at the memory. It seemed all of the specialists held something for Flora; A brotherly sense. Other than, well, Helia.

"Hmm, I would suggest you try asking her what you guys talk about. I mean, if she's this oblivious, she won't notice a thing in your behavior. Plus, seeing you so disturbed kinda hurts, dude." He spoke with much thought, in a reassuring tone.

Helia looked Brandon directly in the eye and gave a nod to the suggestion. "I'll ask her if we can meet up today in Magix after their practice. Thanks for the advice, Brandon." He said, getting up and heading towards the door. Man, this must've really been bugging Helia if he was going to make a Riven exit.

"Remember, if the douche makes any moves, tell me so I can beat him up! No matter how cute he may be!" Brandon called to the specialist, who was already walking back to his room.

"I'll get to it, don't worry". Helia replied back from the hall, his monotone voice hinged with a rare emotion, jealousy. He knew Helia had intended it to sound like his usual voice, but Brandon could most definitely tell out the emotion.

"Wow, okay." Brandon thought, slightly unsure of what just occurred. "And I thought they'd be the last couple to have relationship issues. Wonder how this'll go?" He muttered, to himself.
