Rivalee couldn't help but grin at the reluctance she heard in Nocturne's voice. It was clear he was still nervous about leaving them alone but that only made her fondness of him grow. It was sweet how much he looked out for his sister and yet tried to give her freedom as well. They were an interesting family and that no doubt earned some kind of attention, whether wanted or not. A Guardian with two children, one of which was a null and the other that apparently lived in a sheltered life? No, she couldn't blame Nocturne at all for being so cautious.
"Lovely to meet you, Lyric," Rivalee smiled at the girl and approached with a hand extended to give a proper greeting with a handshake. It was also a good test of magical power. She could see how strong Lyric's powers were while also letting the young woman feel hers. Well, she amended, assuming Lyric wasn't blocking but she doubted she had been taught how to do that yet from the little Nocturne had finally shared. In return, she let her magic crackle around her. It wouldn't do to say she could teach someone if she barely had anything to show for herself.
"Your brother's quite protective, isn't he?" She confided once Nocturne was out of the room. "I bet it gets on your nerves sometimes." She didn't have any siblings given how rare it was in magical families but she did have some close friends while growing up and some of them had it in their head to look out for the others. It was irritating at times but she also appreciated it as it showed how much they meant to one another.
Seeing the goodies laid out on the table in front of the couch, Rivalee invited herself to sit down and swiped a cookie, taking a bite seconds later. "Mm! Delicious! Did you bake them?" She finished off the treat before helping herself to a cup of tea and taking a sip. It was also delightful. She'd have to ask after the flavour and brand before she left.
"I'm sure you have plenty of questions, probably about me, so ask away. You can tell me anything about yourself as well. Then we can get into some ideas I have for teaching you what I know." Nocturne had warned her about how excited Lyric was over the whole thing but Rivalee had a timeframe for some of their work and a hyper teenager wasn't going to get her to rush it.
