Less Human

"Is there because you feel like you are using me?" asked Suyin as the weapon clanged when it touched the table. Arthur was staring at it with a smile before he turned toward her. In his eyes, she saw a dangerous amount of curiosity.

"I have dragged you here and asked you to use your powers for me. The least I could do is prove that this is an experiment, not that I am taking advantage of our friendship."

The word friendship made her smile, and she did not want to say she was his disciple. If he considered her a friend, then she would not refuse it. It would be an honor for her.

Lin Xue was right about Arthur; Suyin knew. He would never be hers. She has seen the golden field and heard the story from the witch Aurora. According to her, he was thinking about his love. If he were as she knew him, Arthur would never look at another woman.
