Erik nodded. "I see. I will have to see it in action. But it must be good enough for you to be allowed to stay here," he said, smirking.

"I can show you... If you want..."

Erik shook his head slowly. "Not now, my dear. As anxious as I am to see it, I would rather see you use it in real battle when you are truly wanting to use it. Until we meet again," he said before leaving her alone in her room.

"Wait!" Sylvia cried out. She didn't want to be alone. "I... I can do that... Now, if you want..."

Erik smirked. "I will see it when you are truly ready to use it. Besides, I have other matters that need attending to. If you need company, other members of the Brotherhood are wondering around."

Sylvia went back to the bed, and sat. She looked at him like a dog who'd just been scolded.
