«Was it that beautiful?» Ojtaro asks her, while crossing his arms. «I'm starting to envy you; you better kidnap me and take me to one of those Lessons».

Sentinekka laughs in a soft way at the joke. «Maybe you can ask a free evening to go with me and the students!».

«They're never going to let me go, and you know that» he explains, shrugging. In these days, Sentinekka and Ojtaro are meeting each other often.

The Passage of Assistance ended two days ago, and Sentinekka is talking a lot about it. It was amazing, a new and wonderful experience! And everyone is so kind!

Ojtaro, instead, is getting used to the Prophets and their behavior, even thought he told them that they could treat him normally, as he was a friend. He hates being respected for a role. He thinks that he should be appreciated for some action he did, not for the fact that he's going to be a ruler in an year.

Sentinekka doesn't need to understand anymore, she already knows how cool he is. He's right in everything, like when they met each other for the first time in the Isle of Dawn, when he explained to her and Symphony what they had to do.

«I know» she says, standing up. «Do you know what will your next Trial be?» she asks, standing up. They were sitting together on a bench in the Valley's principal way to get in the Citadel or in the Coliseum - I think you all know what I'm talking about -, and now they are both on their feet.

Somehow, Ojtaro always does whatever she does. She gets up and he imitates her.

«I do. It's Air. Why do you ask?» he answers, confused.

She mumbles, then tells him:«You'll have to go on the ice again. I think you should learn how to skate, so it won't be hard for you to get out of the third phase of the elements».

He rebels, scared:«No way I'm going to put even a finger on that thing! You know what happened the last time I did!».

«You'll have to tho...». The young girl walks to the ice rink under that snowy surface they were staying on, and looks at him with a patient face. «If you want to I'll stay always with you. You just need to let your fear go. You even said it, remember?».

Silence falls beneath them, until he sighs and reaches her slowly.

He looks at the ice with insecure eyes. «This is not a good idea» he says, holding her hand tightly.

«It is, trust me».
