The smile grew sad around the edges. "You know what they say about good intentions." Running a hand through his hair, he let out a huff of laughter. "Maybe I can stubborn my way into acceptance this time." His tone was wry, and he gave her an amused look.
"Flatterer." Still, he looked and sounded pleased at her compliment. Winking back at her, he leaned against the doorframe as she took in the training ground.
