Time seemed to fly as the days passed by in a blur while he relentlessly trained. He barely slept or ate but still felt full of energy. When he was about to return to his dorm and retire for the night, he saw Jayden waiting patiently outside of his dorm room with a bottle in hand.
Cain leaned against the doorframe and raised an eyebrow at the bottle in her hand. "Wow," he said with a smirk. "It is not like my room lacks for alcohol. Anna practically turned my fridge into a storage unit."
Jayden's cheeks tinged pink as she shifted from foot to foot. "Y-Your duel is tomorrow," she said softly, her voice hesitant.
Cain nodded, his expression still amused. "I know," he replied simply, then cocked his head. "But what are you doing here so late, waiting for me?"
She took a small breath, holding the bottle a little tighter. "I wanted to give you some encouragement," she said quietly. "Tonight, before everything tomorrow. And… I wanted to share an elixir from my hometown with you."
