Aiden

"Ajax-san, you've got to teach me how to do that some day, it would make things so much easier back at the guild." Aiden asked, only half-joking about what he said, as he got off the train gratefully. If it wasn't for the Ice he'd bern munching on through out the ride, he'd have vomited quite a lot on the way here.

He listened to Ajax's directions, stepping into the car with Oriel to change into his combat fatiques, which he didn't mind that much, before steping over to the supplies and picking ip one bag. He formed a number of Ice Guardians to carry anything him and Oriel couldn't and moved back to where Ajax was. "Ready when you are, Sir." Aiden grinned, excited by the uncertainty of whats to come, in both the training. . . and his relationship with Oriel. He still wasn't sure what to make of her yet, but he knew he didn't hate her and that he liked to spend time with her. He also wondered, in the back of his mind, if he was just some kind of placeholder or replacement to Sable. It wasn't a frequent thought, but it was still there, always lingering in his mind. 

[i]Am I really the one she wants,[/i] he'd wonder as he fell asleep at night, [i] or am I just who she's stuck with.[/i]

It would be a depressing reality if Oriel was just using him in such a way, but it would be nothing new. All his life, he'd just been a means to an end for people, always abandoned when he'd fulfilled his usefulness, so why should now be any different.

The darkness of his thoughts showed briefly as he stared at Oriel for a little while, before turning his attention back to Ajax, the passion that had been present moments before seeming somewhat dimmec before it disappeared all together, a layer of ice freezing the heterochromic blue orbs and locking away any emotions that they had displayed before.
