EMBER'S POV
"there you are," Axel announced when he found me still on my hair, contemplating my life,
"You were looking for me?"
"yeah. I said I'd come to watch you guys train. I stepped outside, but found the training ground empty, and wondered where you all went."
"Well, we were there." I told him, "But now, we're done for the day. All of me feels very sore. I doubt I could do much more in my condition."
"had a feeling he would bleed you out," Axel said, leaning on the door jamb, watching me as he did.
"What?" I asked after I'd had enough of his examining gaze that made me feel exposed,
"Nothing much. Just having a proud moment," he said and a laugh escaped my lips.
"proud brother moment? What are you proud of exactly? Jean whooping my arse the way he did? Because heaven knows I landed on my arse countless number of times."
