"Training is good," I replied with a shrug. Sending a lazy glance over my shoulder at her, I nodded to my sword. "It is not the first time I’ve handled such a weapon, you know."

Her cheeks colored momentarily and she glanced down. "No, of course not. I didn’t mean for it to sound as though I believed that. Of course someone with your experience would have had times where he has come across a blade that is similar to the one on your back," she murmured thoughtfully. "Someone with your experience knows a lot about blades in general, and would of course know which he prefers..."

She paused, daring to look up and meet my eyes. For the briefest moment, it was as though none of the bad things that were going on existed. It was just me and my new best friend, chatting. Then the moment passed, and I sighed.

"Your point being...?" I asked quietly, making sure my tone was as least offensive as possible. Elyssa sighed as well and looked away.

"It looks like this is your preferred type of blade, that is all," she said. She stood quickly then and walked away without another word.

I guessed that whatever was on her mind in the first place was no longer pressing on the forefront of her mind, since she was walking away without speaking on a different topic other than swords.

At the last moment, before she entered the castle, Elyssa turned back toward me.

"You hate me, don't you?" she asked suddenly. Startled, I stared at her. She shrugged one shoulder at me. "The way you look at me says it all, you know. I understand why you feel that way, and I have no place to ask you to try to change your mind. It just kind of upsets me that my first true friend here hates my guts now." The sad smile that adorned her face at that statement tugged at my heartstrings, but I remained silent. "Anyway, see you around."

With that, she was gone, inside the castle once more. I stared at the spot where she stood, and wondered how such an intuitive and smart woman could possibly think that I hated her when it was quite the opposite.

Maybe it has more to do with my hiding abilities, than her ability to read you, I thought, chewing thoughtfully on my bottom lip.

I needed to get my mind off of Elyssa before I drove myself insane. Heading inside, I decided to try to find my Mate.

When I was unable to find her, even in our room or in the room she’d begun to hide in to paint, I headed back outside in defeat, only to find her in the gardens, gently playing with a rose bud.

When she saw me, she stood up straighter and headed inside without a backward glance.

Should I chase her? I thought, staring after her. Or should I just let her go, since I doubt she wants anything to do with me...

“Ollie, wait,” I called, running inside after her.
