Aniko dipped her head in the same manner as Kaylanya, hoping not to offend her, just the same she was concerned about earlier events, "Is it true... about me, I mean, and the storm.... I mean, was that really my fault?"
Kaylanya smiled gently and nodded, "Yes, that was your fault, but it was not your responsability. It seems aparent to me that you are a very responsible young woman, but you should try to not feel guilt over the storm anyway."
"That is true," came Aileron's voice from the doorway, "It was my responsability as your instructor and I failed in that responsability. The guilt is all mine, I assure you." Instinctively, Aniko clutched the light blanket on her bed and brought it protectively up to her chest, blushing slightly as she realized she was already fully dressed. "I should have called Kaylanya immediately upon your arrival at the tower, if not sooner, but .... I was arrogant, proud... I thought I could contain your strength alone and I could not. As well as I should have thought about your situation. My former master should be able to help you out with that as well. Now, where should I put this tea?"
Aniko blinked demurely, finally noticing the tray with cups and a small pot that Aileron had been holding the entire time, "Oh, um... here, on the nightstand, I think... I'm sorry, would you, er, like to sit down? I mean... Oh, this is all just too much at once... I... I can't... I'm a little scared is all..."
Aileron and Kaylanya exchanged a knowing look, slight nod and a smile. turning back to Aniko, Kaylanya broadened her smile and stated, "The rest of this week your training schedule is up to you, but you must continue some form of study every day, and at the end of this week we will evaluate if you are ready for a les intense schedule. In addition, you must spend at least two hours a day with me in special training. Now, what would you like to study first, today?
