Reaching out, he gave the girl a one-armed hug, his voice quieting. "I appreciate the understanding...and the support. Though I doubt there will be anything to worry about. Goblet probably knows why I'm entering and will spit my name back out shredded into a thousand pieces."
"Doesn't mean I wouldn't try." She said with a small smile. Though she didn't know what help a thirteen year old would be in a tournament for adults, even if the adults were still in school.
"Tate's on the inside, Sabel." She reminded him. It wasn't a secret that Arya trusted the man wholeheartedly.
"He's more than capable of defending his students."
Leaning into the hug, she loosened her grip on Nemo. Shrugging one shoulder gently, she peeked up at him.
"You don't know that," Her voice was soft.
"And I guess no one will until the champions are picked." A day she wasn't as excited about as she was before the term started.
