As our third day of joint training came to a close, we made our way back to the cabins. Along the path, Titania nudged me with her elbow, her grin stretching from ear to ear.
"You were absolutely fantastic out there."
"Really?" I responded.
"Absolutely! You were even faster than yesterday when we sparred. You were holding back your strength, weren't you? You sly dog," she teased, her grin still in place as she jabbed me again with her elbow. "So you were deliberately holding back for my sake, huh? Oh, Leon, I may have underestimated you..."
If that's what she wanted to believe, then so be it. "Anyway, I still couldn't best Zeruel in the end, could I?"
