"That's more like it", Valerion said, bowing his head gently. "Listen to me, Adrien: even though you are not, I am absolutely confident in your abilities. You have been doing great so far, and I am sure that you will continue in the same way. You'll be fine, I promise".

Adrien smiled and closed his eyes, so glad to hear those words. "Thank you so much", he said, near tears. "Thank you".

"It's alright", Valerion said. He stood up and walked towards the window. "I think this is enough strenuous endeavors for today. What do you say that we go back to the main hall, have some lunch, and spend the rest of this day in more relaxing activities?".
