You know I still like you the most
The best of the best
Aisha's easy commiserations made him feel better, somehow. No questions about what had happened, no judgement about how he must have disappointed the Voice; just an acknowledgement that it sucked, which was indeed the case; he nodded. "Thank you. I'm working on improving again." One step at a time, one upgrade at a time, as he got himself back into the Voice's favour.
"Oh, um, only if you can." He rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly, hoping he wasn't being rude; at least Aisha didn't seem frustrated about having to give an impromptu lesson. "I could give you a book, or some tea for the trouble." With no idea if she read habitually or drank tea, he didn't know if those gifts would be worthless, but it was all he had to easily give.
He followed along with her, trying to calm his nerves which rose as they got closer to any potential training spot; he had asked for this, and he was going to go through with it. It was better to learn now, than when he was facing something that genuinely wanted to hurt him. "There's an alley just behind my shop there that leads to a small...I suppose it's a courtyard, with an old fountain. Do you think that'd do?"
