Accepting her Offer
Selene's eyes narrowed as she studied Kent. His calm demeanor was both frustrating and intriguing. Most people trembled in her presence, but this young man sat there as if she were just another passerby.
Well, maybe on the outside. On the inside, though, Kent wasn't that calm, but he wasn't at the point of making it obvious to her.
"Don't get me wrong; your offer is great. It would be something no sane swordsman would reject. However, I am an alchemist. The sword is just something I use to protect myself. I don't really see myself as a swordsman," Kent said, making his reasoning clear to her.
Clearly, she must have known something about him to have come this far, even risking offending a noble family in the process. Not that she cared. In her eyes, the Ashland noble family was nothing to her.
