Akua paused, almost struck by the guileless way he accepts her word, and bows before her slightly. She's not used to... that, as normally Praesi hangers-on are far more...simpering, and anyone from the allies she'd worked with before arriving had been... untrusting at best.

Her surprised smile flickers to life, and she nodded. "Don't worry, I will. I am, however, a strict taskmistress. I expect you to practice, and throw yourself into the practice."

How odd, how these new people could bring something new out of her, and she wondered if the Warden had ever taken new Named under her wing like this? Akua was not a caring type, she did not feel kinship with people, but even so, the longer she was here, the longer this went on, she could see how it could happen.

If felt ironic, for a villain like her.
