[quote=@paigesweetheart] Ariella blushed as her stomach growled once again and he could have totally noticed if he listened well but her main concern was that Shane was alright. So she simply nodded and lead the way. "The training room is suppose to be somewhere around here..." 10..seconds later... As they arrived at the training room, she could see Shane up ahead. Ariella smiled waiving at Shane and calling him out. "Shane! Heeey! It's Ariella and James..." she said sighing and standing next to him. "Wow.. you seriously training..? You just got out of a fight and you are training..? again..?" [/quote] 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].
