[u]A Week Ago[/u]

Useless. That's what she'd been, and how she felt. Not participating in anything at all, not helping in anything, save for a few exceptions. Aria gave a light 'tch', scowling to the thought as she witnessed the closing of the battle. She was glad that she at least brought Nigel to safety, teleporting out with his head and body. Nonetheless, to whatever that would come next, she promised herself to work hard and exceed expectations. That would be the bare minimum for her to prove herself to her own, not to anyone else, though it may sound odd. 

[u]Currently[/u]

As she stood beside Ivory in front of the master, relief came flooding hearing his words, though her face remained expressionless. Her efforts to quickly finish up the job requests and such paid off it seemed, and as an added bonus she had nothing against herself anymore. The remaining days she had spent for solitary training in various locations, honing her skills. 

"[color=gray]...Is that so...[/color]"
Was the only thing she replied the master with, disbelief a little evident in her tone. Her only concern had been fulfilling her internal promise, after all. Not that that had mattered to anyone else.

Aria turned her head to Ivory, looking to see her reaction.
