She groaned playfully. "Do we have to? I'm still recovering from yesterday."
I chuckled, pulling her close. "We've got to stay on top of things. Remember, we're training with the human soldiers today."
Aurelia sighed, but a smile tugged at the corners of her lips. "Alright, let's do this. But I expect some good food afterwards."
