Mia stuck close to Lucius the entire time they were at the fortress. They were only planning to meet Kalivas, resupply, then head back out into Alorek to continue their mission. However, they were 'convinced' by Kalivas to stick around for a few days because he took a liking to their resident sociopath.
Each morning, they would wake up and Lucius would be requested to join Kalivas at the gates facing Alorek. There, they would train from dawn till dusk, taking breaks only for meals. The fights would continue even when receiving a message from a scout.
Mia was always present and watching these bouts from the ramparts above because she felt like she would get sick from the sheer concentration of mana produced by the two fighters. It amazed her how the boy could keep up with such daily rigors. By this point, she knew that she would have been beyond useless.
"Wow… I've never seen Uncle get so in to training someone. I knew he had potential…"
