"We should head back." I hum and sit up. "Am I doing anything else today?"

"You need training with poison, but I don't know if today is the best day for that, so I guess you're good," he replies.

"What exactly will I be trained in? I can guess some of the stuff but like... will I need to become torture resilient?" I ask with a hint of nervousness.

"Yeah. You'll need to become immune to certain poisons and resistant to torture."

"How?"

"By being tortured and given small amounts of poison where we'll work you up so that you're immune," he explains.

I run a hand through my hair and take a deep breath. "That's what I was afraid you'd say." I fold my hands and rest them under my chin. "Okay."

"Is that a problem? If it is, I'll just train harder to make up for you not doing it and I'll taste everything you get before you consume it." Levi shrugs.

"No," I shake my head. "It's not a problem. I need to be stronger so I'll do what it takes to become stronger."

"Well, you said 'that's what I was afraid you'd say,' so I can just get rid of that fear by cutting it out of your training."

"I should face my fears, not run from them." I tell him determinedly.

"That is true. I'm glad you think that way." Levi gets comfortable and looks at the lake.

"Thank you. It's nice here." I hum, following his gaze. "Makes me wish I had my camera."

"You didn't bring it? Surprising." He hands me his phone with the camera open. "Don't know how good this is for you."

I chuckle, taking it and taking a few pictures before handing it back. "I was a little distracted this morning. This trainer guy was very insistent that we go."

"Well, don't sleep in so late and be prepared like a good student." He cuffs me.

"I'll work on it."

"You better. Tell me when you're ready to get home and get into some actual clothes and I'll take you."

"'S funny, I think I've been naked around you more than I've been clothed." I chuckle, adjusting my robe.

"As long as you're comfortable, why bother?"

"It's a bit unfair, don't you think?" I smirk. "I've never seen you naked."

"You've yet to earn it and you looked away when you could have. I came back from a performance partially naked that one time and then started undressing and you looked away." Levi smirks.

"I was trying to respect your privacy. Stupid of me, since you don't respect mine." I scoff.

"I won't look anymore."

I sigh. "Like you said, I'm comfortable so why bother? It's fine. Flattering, even, if you feel the need to."

"Believe whatever helps you sleep at night." Levi stands up and holds his hand out for me.

I pull the blanket off and hold it in one arm, the other taking Levi's hand.

"Let's take you home so you can get warm and relax."

"Alright." I smile and follow him to his car, getting in and taking my place staring out the window. "How do the others feel? About me?"

"They don't know what to feel yet," he responds honestly.
