Aelira moved like a blade.
"Control isn't enough," she said.
"You need intent."
She launched a precise strike.
Kael countered—barely.

"Focus."

Aelira stopped.
Her gaze lingered longer than before.
"…You adapt to people," she said.
Kael shrugged. "I learn from them."
A faint smile touched her lips.
"Good," she said.
"Then keep watching."
