Vayla smiled at herself. That was exactly the reaction she was expecting. "I am not here to have you fight, Alex. I want you to sit with me." And with that she just sat in the middle of the arena field, her legs crossed above eath other. "Come sit down. I have something to  show you."

Her smile was inviting and her eyes were soft. She concentrated on Alex, on his body, on every little cell inside of him, then she went through his veins with her mind, she was feeling his blood, but she didn't touch it, she went up to his mind and made his own body create those hormones that are responsible for the feeling happiness. She didn't go overboard with it, she made him just a little bit lighter in his soul.

Alex himself would not even feel the change much, but it would lighten his mood. It's funny how the smallest changes affect our actions. Vayla waited for him to join her.
