"I do," Alena answered, nodding her head. Although they hadn't gotten acquainted for long, she had a decent amount of trust in the older woman.
Aria was knowledgeable and could mentored her in a lot of aspects. Many theories were born inside her head as to why Aria possessed the strange set of information yet acted like she was not someone born in the same era as her, but she respected her and didn't ask.
"Thank you for that," Aria gave the child a subtle smile before closing her eyes to focus. "Alena, shield off the enemies for a bit." she said.
