Later that afternoon, a soft knock on training room door interrupted his thoughts.
He opened it to find Althea Illyrian standing there, her expression unusually serious.
"May I come in?" she asked.
Dabi stepped aside, gesturing for her to enter. "What is it?"
Althea hesitated, her usual confidence replaced by something more subdued.
"I heard about your request to meet Tessa Asterius," she said.
"You're not the only one trying to get her attention."
Dabi raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?" How do you always get informed about my every decision.
Are spying on me ? I don't like being watched. You always act like we are close or something. I like to tell you stop doing that.
I was just hope to help you. I didn't spy on you. I was simply meeting with the headmaster because of my transfer.
