' Spineless!' she scolded him.
Ari immediately followed suit on their path back to the cottage.
"Ahi~"
"What?" she snapped at him irritatedly.
"Uh....What did Aja promise to you?" came a tiny voice from Ari, almost equalling to a mosquito.
Ahi abruptly stopped on her tracks, with startled eyes.
'So, he was conscious this whole time. or maybe just during the sparring time? Ugh! It really is so hard to get rid of him!'
She immediately composed herself, and resumed to their destination without looking at Ari, "That he'd be my master, if I defeat you."
Ari's lips twitched at her statement.
