Haha I can really see Kat and Aless having a lot of fun together. Because Kat will have someone she can be dark with. And I don't see Lia being hard to convince.

He'll look down at her and give her a weird look. "I can try, I'm not sure that I'll be made her guard." He'll be quiet for a moment. "If not, I guess I can still try."
(Because he wouldn't know that he would be Lia's guard before it happened)
