Alia knocked on the door, she wasn't sure it was the right one but after spending a few hours with him earlier today, she was certain that it was his scent she could perceive in the room. Connor smelled like old books, perhaps spending so much time in the library contributed to that.

She smiled and then pushed it open, he had just come out of the shower with a towel tied around his waist. She slowly examined him gawkily. Okay, maybe she had a wrong judgment of him earlier; yes, he wasn't muscular but he definitely had those abs, and a lovely body.

"Hey," he said as he walked towards her. "I didn't know it was you; I mean, our lessons are not starting till tomorrow, right?" he queried.

"You know, a thousand years ago, you could get beheaded for greeting me with a simple hey." She teased.
