After that disastrous date, Aselia began to avoid Jaguar. She felt uncomfortable in his presence. She would either send him out on long missions or patrol duty or would do the same to herself.
If he was in the cafeteria she would eat in her office and if he was in the training room she would make excuses to not go there.
One evening she was taking out her frustration on a punching bag in the training room, wearing a crop top and yoga pants. She was startled by his deep voice:
"You have been avoiding me, Falcon," it was more of a statement. Aselia stopped punching the bag and taking off her gloves turned to face him. Sweat covered her face and shoulders. The Ruby bracelet glistened on her right arm. While he stood there with his hands in the pockets of his leather pants.
"And why would I do that?" she side passed him to drop her gloves on the table.
