As Sunset shook the girls hand, she quickly brushed aside the feeling of suspension, the girls hand turning out to be quite warm. Guess she must’ve been feeling that way for nothing.
“Raven? That’s a nice name.” She said, pulling her hand back as Raven pulled back her hoodie. Ok, wow. She was… “God, you’re beautiful.” Sunset suddenly blurted out as she quickly covered her mouth with a hand, a small blush on her face. She stammered for a second before finding her voice once more.
“I-I’m honestly just trying to see if I’ve still got it. Like I said, i haven’t done this in a while, but I’m actually not in school, soo… no teachers for me.”
An eyebrow raised at the impromptu compliment. She usually got “creepy” or “weird,” it was weird to hear such a compliment used in relation to herself. Raven pushed it from her mind, though. It wouldn’t do her any good to linger on it, and Sunset Shimmer already seemed embarrassed. Better not to draw attention to it, she assumed. Spare the girl any further shame.
“I see,” she responded, nodding thoughtfully. A simple potion was probably best for someone who was rusty with their alchemy, after all. No teacher, though? She hoped the other wouldn’t try anything too spectacular without someone experienced nearby.
Raven debated with herself for a moment before shrugging. “I could help, if you’d like.” The Titans and their enemies have been quiet enough lately. No point in not using her newfound break to spend time away from the Tower and everything that came with it.
Sunset seemed to block once or twice, as if stunned before she broke out into a small grin. “Oh! Um, sure! I think that could be fun! Only, I… I don’t actually live in Jump City.” She said with a sheepish smile. “I live in Canterlot, a few hours from here. This was the closest city that had the ingredients I needed since Canterlot is very…” she tapped her fingers together, seemed ponder on what words to choose before she finally chose, “Limited, on what they have.”
“I just don’t wanna take you away from here if you still have things to do.”
