What made Manix think she was anything other than an ordinary human? Then again, Nox had guessed just by what he knew of Aria -- which suggested that perhaps Manix had met one of her kind before. Her uncle had always encourage her to keep her abilities secret; she knew now that there existed people who would kill her for what she was (and she suspected he had been one of them). But honesty was in her nature. She didn't think anything of nodding to his words, despite that it revealed she had something to hide.
The prospect of "training" still cast a shadow, but she acknowledged SynJyn's words anyhow. As to the other offer, Elias turned to her with folded arms and pronounced a judgement she could have guessed. Distraction stole an immediate answer from her lips. Home was an ephemeral concept to her, and she felt no emotional attachment to Aria's apartment. The bonds of friendship were something else, though; a thing she valued above all else. Nox had said he'd check on her in a few days, and she didn't want him to think she'd just up and left. Elias probably wouldn't approve, but she'd send him a message anyway.
She could sense how much it meant to Elias, and that would have swayed any reluctance on her part if she'd not already been willing. The emotions all swirled around in her head, too tight to unpick. She smiled, tilting her shoulders. "Then we'll stay here."
