(Erk POV)

Louise closed the door behind her as she scanned the scene in front of her, Pent holding my arm outstretched at a higher angle than I had it before, a book open on the floor and a smoking pile of sticks.

"Pent, the girl just woke up, try to make her feel welcome, at least don't tell her she's useless here."

Her words fell on deaf ears, "a little higher, perfect! What were you saying Louise?"

She shook her head, my arm started drooping and my master wasn't paying attention anymore so I let it fall to my side, "I'll go practice in my room." I said picking up the sticks and book and crossing to the door.

(Canas POV)

I walked into the dining-room "…and that's Canas, a dark mage…" Aw, Elliwood would interrupt his speech, just to introduce me to a girl, how cute! I smiled, just to be polite, sat at the table, Rath ladled me some soup and I ate it, noticing some on the floor, hmm, probably has something to do with Raven's attitude, I thought, remembering our encounter on my way down the stairs.

(Beth POV)

After Elliwood introduced Canas, two other people came in, "… oh, and this is Hector and Sain, anyway, as I was saying, axes are strong against lances, lances are strong against swords and swords are strong against axes, just like magic, dark beats anima, anima beats light and light beats dark."

"Elliwood, who's this?"

"You, of all people, should know, Hector, you saved her!" Elliwood replied.
