[quote=@TheDarkTemplar] Shane didn't stop his assault on the training dummies. His energy was focused on perfecting himself. [b]"I was the reason we lost today. I lost control and almost killed two people. I'm not letting my imperfection get in the way again"[/b], he grasped Riya with both hands and plunged the sword into the torso of the dummy and lifted it upwards. [b]"If this happened while I was on a job.."[/b], his mind went back once more to the warehouse but he quickly removed it from thought. He didn't want to say it but another reason for him pushing himself so hard was because he was afraid of what he could have done to Ariella. She was probably his only friend here and his only real friend in a long time. To think that made him upset because the last time he had a friend she ended up dead. He sheathed Riya and turned to face Ariella, [b]"What I meant to say was; If I had hurt you I wouldn't be able to live with myself. Your my only friend here and.."[/b], he never was good with sentiment [b]"..well you get the idea"[/b]. [/quote] Ariella smiled at Shane as she walked towards him giving him a hug! Yeah, she felt bad for him and that was only because he said that she was his only friend. That was really amazing of him to say that, and to be honest...they both have something similarly in common, she was lonely at times as well as himself. Now taking a step backwards standing next to James, she elbowed him so he could say something to Shane as well.
