Ari climbed under the covers after slipping off her boots and laid down, her back facing Vorrin. She shut her eyes, but was still alert. Ari never trusted anyone, ever. Her parents made it their goal and mission in life to train Ari to the best of her abilities, to be alert and always prepared and under it all heartless. The feeling of sleeping in the same room as someone else was a strange and foreign feeling to Ari, who was always alone. Her parents traveled constantly and left her alone often. Ari accepted the fact long ago that she would end up alone, no husband or kin to look after. It was her fate, and her life choices up until now that made that outcome more apparent day by day. During the night Ari shifted and tossed and turned like every other night, and in the morning she woke up just before sunrise.
