"G-good Se ..." Isabelle starts, her face flushing red. "Well, there are [i]certainly [/i]some things I am not talking about on an open channel either!"

It's possible you can [i]also [/i]hear the tongue sticking out at the end of that sentence.

"But generally, yeah, it's been a really good week! We had a breakthrough on some work with Zaldarian nanotech I can't wait to dip into more, training went well and I even averaged six hours of sleep per night for once! Nearly seven even!"

She leaves unspoken the fact that it would have been longer had it not been for Asil's ... determination.

"But yeah, the talk helped a bit too - I feel a bit ... lighter? I'm not sure how to describe it. I'm glad to hear Whispered Promise is working on her what we talked about. She doesn't have to, so it means alot that she meant what she said? Ah, look at me ramble. How are you? Been good? Ready for today's fight?"

Isabelle's also watching closely, but not making any aggressive moves to start the fight. She's ready if anything happens - but the sense is two boxers testing out their equipment, stretching and watching each other in the pre-match. Waiting for the mutually-agreed bell to sound.

"I know you're here representing Hybrasil. We're kind of the same in that I'm here for Terenius too. Three of us left each in the knockouts - maybe only one or two after today as the others are paired up together. If Ada wins though, I get the feeling her wish would be used closer to home."

"Any idea what you'll wish for if you make it to the end?"
