Alright, it's up there, and honestly I'm glad I took the time to rewrite it a couple of times because I had a novella at first. Posts in the future should be a bit speedier; jet lag's mostly gone. 

Edit: [@Prince of Seraphs] had some trouble with Aliya's accent, so I realized it wouldn't really come over that well if I kept at it (I'd probably forget eventually.) In my head it was a Scottish-type thing, but in the grand scheme of things it's fluff. EDIT x2: Methinks it's better just to keep it in regular text from now on
