Aria didn't know the amount of time that passed when the door opened. She finished the last move as a familiar yet flat voice called out to her. Aria smirked before turning around to greet the man who'd once saved her life. He asked if she tried to kill Ascendancy, clearly he didn't understand the Atharim. If she had tried, she would not be standing her now. It was do or die, there was really no in between in this case.
Aria shook her head, "I did not try. Circumstances brought me to the Ascendancy's so-called doorstep. Do you think I would stand here if I had tried to kill him?"
Aria sat down on the cot and put her combat boots back on. "I don't think I need your assistance for my life just yet."
She looked up from tying her left boot lace, "Ascendancy has seen it fit I live for at least the time being. I'm to be another useful tool in his arsenal of useful tools."
She grinned up at him before looking down to tie the remaining boot. Michael Vellas maybe Commander of some army but he was still a tool to be used. Aria didn't see the Ascendancy with any personal investment in people. He had no wife, no children, everything was business, everything was a tool.
Aria sat up and folded her hands in her lap, "It was either death or work for Ascendancy, which do you think I chose? Sounds familiar?"
