Just a slight change in perception and he immediately began seeing inadequacies practically in every corner of his plans until now.
Going through all this in a mere a few seconds had him feeling grateful to Aramina for a moment.
Just a moment.
A faint chuckle escapes him once more as he stares at the spotlessly white floor.
This one, far darker.
Somewhere within his heart...a deep, quiet grudge settled in his heart.
One formed from neither rage nor helplessness.
Simply another entry upon a new list of those who to settle scores with someday.
Someday soon.
When next he raised his head, his expression had returned to perfect calm.
Slowly, Ezra unclenches his fist.
"...Very well" He looks directly at Aramina. "I accept"
For a brief moment after accepting, silence settled over the room once more.
Aramina's smile brightens, as she brings her hands together into a light clap.
"How wonderful" she leans back, staring upon Ezra with a gaze tinged with teasing mockery.
