Lainie cringed as Sulleykaar asked her the question she'd hoped he wouldn't. It had been anything but amusing. [color=lemonchiffon]"Well, I..."[/color] She trailed off. The words wouldn't leave her mouth. Telling this story would involve mentioning a part of her magic she really didn't want to talk about. She'd have to, eventually... in any case, there was a good chance he'd find out. She just couldn't bring herself to say anything about it right now. [color=lemonchiffon]"I just, uh... gained it too."[/color]

That was part of the truth, at least. She remembered all too well the look of betrayal on a former friend's face. Lainie shuddered, glancing away from Sulleykaar as if keeping a guilty secret from him.

She still didn't know if accepting was a good idea, especially if there was any chance the professors wouldn't be happy with this. This would be nothing like their tried and tested teaching method. Yet, after hesitating for a moment, she stood up and followed him. Unsure as she was, she couldn't deny the thought of it stirred up a slight thrill. It was a risk, but the idea of taking risks called to a part of her, hidden deep inside... No, she reminded herself, that wasn't the point of the training. This was about control. [color=lemonchiffon]"Ok..."[/color] she said, pausing for a second, looking back, then forwards, before following him with small, shuffling steps into the training ground.
