Diamond

Atrina found herself laughing as Riin made his best effort to climb over the wall. 
"Come on, Evensin, you can do it!" She teased him. Poor guy, he let fear rule too much. If he just let go-
The thought had barely entered her mind when Riin fell onto the other side with an audible "oof".
"You ok?" She called out, catching the sincere tone of her voice and quickly dismissing  it. 
She could hear his audible rambling as he began to curse everything in existence. Finally, with an exasperated huff he answered, "Yea! Coast is clear. . . are you sure this is safe- That's not fair." A note of jealousy laced the last bit as Atrina made little work of the wall and landed soundlessly in front of him. 
Her smug grin seemed to only further frustrate Riin. Frustration is a good look for him, she thought. 
"Of course it's 'safe'. Now why don't you stick close to me. I promise there won't be anymore climbing." 
More cursing under his breath. . . Riin must really be nervous, she thought with great satisfaction. 
"What was that Riin?" She called behind her. 
"Nothing! So, what are we . . . doing here again?" A bit of concern betrayed the confidence he attempted to exhibit. He was trying to hard to act nonchalant in front of her, and he was failing so miserably. It was too cute!
She stepped up to the back door and willed it open. The staff inside all turned their attention to the both of them and an air of questions were exchanged amongst them. Security was quickly called, their guns trained on them as they shouted out warnings. Atrina's smile only grew as her eyes fell upon her prize.
"Darling, we're here for my diamond, of course."
