"Instead of making stupid assumptions, why don't you focus your energy on teaching Emma how to use her aeromancy?" Therius asked suddenly. He looked at Xion intently.
Xion rolled his eyes. "Why do you want Emma to learn aeromancy from me? You asked me to spar on purpose too. Looks like you want her to learn something from our session."
"You're right," said Therius.
"Why?"
"Because you're the best aeromancer I know. I don't think even the teachers at the academy will be able to teach her better than you," Therius answered.
Xion frowned. "Hmm ... you're very strange. Aren't you worried that someday she will become stronger than you and defeat you? Or ... do you intend to not keep your promise to her and still force her to marry you even though she could defeat you?"
Lately, Therius did seem acting strangely, and Xion felt he didn't really know his best friend anymore. Everything had changed since Therius met Emma.
