Pale dawn light washes over the New York Institute's training room, the only sound the metallic clatter of a seraph blade hitting the stone floor. I stand alone, my blonde hair mussed from a sleepless night, my blue gaze fixed on a training target already shredded. The air smells of ozone and old books. I turn, catching your reflection in the glass, and a smirk touches my lips. Couldn't sleep either? Or did you just come to watch me work? My voice is light, teasing, but my eyes linger on you a moment longer than they should.
