Chapter 43: Questions Of Magic And Mystery

Aylin and Rhea strolled through the hallway leading to Aylin's room.

"I will go to the library to get some books on fighting or training or whatever," Aylin paused and sighed, turning to look at Rhea. "You know what I'm talking about, right?"

Rhea smiled. "I do, Aylin. But that will be after your lessons with my brother, right?"

"Right, the lesson. Yes, after the lesson."

Rhea tilted her head, studying Aylin's face. "You don't look as eager as you were during breakfast. Why?" She asked, a teasing smile forming on her lips.

Aylin remembered how she eagerly told Kian that they should have their lesson today since they couldn't have it yesterday, and surprisingly, he AGREED! Weird, right? I mean, he knew they weren't going to have any lessons, right?!

"It's nothing, I'm just not a fast learner, and it's been a while, so..." Aylin trailed off, and Rhea nodded in understanding.

"I understand."
