feeling a bit off... [open]

Betsy was a little frustrated. After getting her powers back, she had been suffering from headaches. She felt tired more often too, which was just as frustrating when she wanted to train and get back into her routine.

He sat quietly in the dimly lit kitchen, at the table, with a cup of tea. His soft voice sounded loud enough in the silence.

Betsy jumped at the sound of his voice. Her heart racing a little before she calmed down. She wanted to hit herself for being so edgey.
