"You should see one hunting."

Random question? Her lips curved up, into a pretty smile. "No," she said. "You're like one. Confident in the self." The ambush hunter. Judging each angle before the attack. Not letting the prey escape. "I've met aurors that are..." Less cautious beforehand, and less confident at the time of the attack? Different. "Different." It wasn't praise. More like facts she felt applied to him.

He had a good look in his eyes, now. Like someone had lit up a light in his gaze. Sion half-smiled, but made no comment.

"I think it is the best way to weed out the weak. The ones that aren't really dedicated. Sometimes I think these kids hear stories about the GLORY of it all and just decide to go for it. Makes me sick," he grumbled. The job was about much more than glory. Much more.

A lion on the hunt. That would be pretty amazing, actually. "You should take me to see this sometime, then," he suggested. Not a hint of flirtation in his voice. He was seriously interested in seeing this phenomenon. Indeed.

Sion's company would just make things even better.

Listening to her... evaluation of himself and other Aurors he pondered it for a moment. "Mustn't we all be confident in our abilities? Otherwise we are wasting talent... or covering the fact that there is none."
