That one word. That 'alright', sparked a tiny thrill in Nem that was nevertheless stronger than any they had yet experienced. It flared, burned for a moment, then faded, but it was enough. A reminder of what it was they were constantly chasing.
No looking back. Not anymore. Not ever.
It hardly even mattered, all they'd had to say to get to this point, what they'd offered themselves up for.
Nem could only smile after that, a genuine smile which would more than likely have unnerved some of their peers. Not the Big Man, though. No, not him. They gave no sign of surprise elicited from that pat on the cheek, though it certainly hadn't been expected. "Wouldn't dream of it."
What a day this had turned out to be. Would that they were all like this.
"You'll get it. My top priority from here on in." Nem watched him go; they'd not shifted from that spot since before the Headmaster had entered, and they'd probably stay there a little longer still. As long as nobody else showed up, the Duelling Arena was just as good a place for thinking as it was for practice. They did just have one more thing to add, though.
"Have a good day, sir. Greater than good."
