Thorne continued to lead her away from the training grounds; this time, Mason was no longer following them. Adina's brows furrowed as she looked around. They had gone off track completely and were now venturing into the woods.
"W-wait…aren't we training with the others?" she asked.
Thorne didn't answer right away; he pushed some tree branches away from their path as he led her. He looked over his shoulder at her. "No. Just us."
Adina blinked. "Just us?" she repeated, her voice rising slightly. "You're training me alone?"
Thorne cocked an eyebrow, glancing at her. "Why? You don't want to train with me…alone?"
"No, no—I mean yes—" she rushed out.
Thorne smirked, finally arriving at a clearing. "Which is it? Yes? No? Yes?"
"I just— I didn't know you were going to train me alone. I thought I would train with the others," she mumbled.
Thorne hummed, stepping closer as if he was considering it. He hooked his finger under her chin, making her look at him.
