"So you finally came to give me that."
Aria looked at me with genuine confusion. "Give you what?"
"The thanks I deserved for saving your ass."
Her confusion turned to irritation immediately. "I didn't needed your help. I would have managed it myself even if you hadn't stepped up."
"Is that so..."
She sighed. The kind of sigh that carried the weight of having to deal with me for an extended period.
"Stop with your nonsense. I came here just to warn you."
I raised an eyebrow. "Warn me? Looks like you do care for me after all."
"I am going to kill you."
But seeing the jolly expression plastered across my face, she sighed again and pushed forward.
"Listen. I just wanted to say that you're putting yourself in deep trouble. I know you're angry right now. After everything you've been through, I could feel the emotions radiating from you in that hall."
Her voice shifted. Quieter. More careful.
