As Anastasia moved away to allow him to leave the building, he nodded in thanks to her and stepped outside, not waiting for her to step out as well. When she did, he looked at her after she did to him and noticed the slight blush, but only barely. He shook his head after the apology and stayed in step with her. "It's nothing to worry about. I shouldn't have stayed so long." It was his fault for staying longer than he realized and in turn, causing her to roam the castle looking for him.

She can match my skills most of the time, but every time she issues a challenge, she loses."
