Ayden nearly melted at Connor's kiss. He had taken her by surprise the day they met and he continued to do so each and every day since then. Ayden watched as he danced off into the center of the ring ready to go at the spar again. She couldn't help but smile, she gave Giovanni a friendly warning smile.
Ayden laughed at the nickname Emily had given her. She was hardly a professor, much less a mentor of any kind, but she'd help those she could, when she could. It was the least she could do for people after her old career. Countless dead at her hands. The dreams of blood lingered in her mind and Ayden had to shake her head to make the images float away. There was something haunting about seeing it while awake.
Emily was ready to learn, probably more excited than Zoya had been, Zoya hadn't believed her, Emily knew different. Not only had she willing touched the power, she'd done so knowingly, and knew enough to call upon it herself. But she was like a witch, spells and magic to make it work, when all it was was surrendering. That had been the hardest part for Ayden, the surrendering. It was the only thing in her life at the time that she'd willing surrendered for, now she had two, and she'd do it again in a heartbeat if Connor asked. She smiled as she looked down at the ring on her finger. She had willing submitted herself to an ordinary life. It would still take time to get used to but she was getting there.
Ayden turned her smile to Emily. "Whenever you want. Just not here, privacy is more equipped for the lesson you need to learn."
