Amara gave a small blush when he mentioned that her feistyness and willingness is appreciated. It was rare for her to have ever gotten compliments from others and it gave her a bit of happiness she didn't really have otherwise. When he asked if there was anything else, Amara shook her head before she looked at Sokoya. "Will you be walking me to my training again today" she asked with a small smile before she turned to Orion. "Or will you? After what happened today I would not blame you if you were too busy."

"I can walk you to the training session. Besides... I need to talk to the lizardmen chieftain anyway, so it's not inconvinent." He sat up from the throne and walked to Amara's side, while Sokoya merely shook her head before moving to his side. "Do you want to head there now? I'm sure Lor-re wouldn't mind starting his training a little early." In case that Lor-re wasn't in favor of starting early, Orion was confident that he could "convince" him into starting early.

Amara nodded to Orion before she looked at Sokoya. "I'm sorry if my presence here has been, troublesome. I'm grateful to have been spared, and I do want to help. I mean that" she said looking between the two. "I know other humans want nothing but treasure and gold and glory, but I just want somewhere I belong" she told them as she looked in the direction that the others left. "I do not blame their hesitancy to not trust me after what they have been through though. I know it will take time for them to see I'm not like those who dragged me down here."

Orion waved off her concerns as he stood in front of her. "I've dealt with much worse in regards to dealing with the denizens of the dungeon. You're fine Amara. And I'm sure that you'll be able to prove them all wrong and destroy any dispositions they have against you, but for right now I just ask that you be careful around them. Now that your presence is well known, there may be a few that could be emboldened to harm you... or worse. If your powers can become as strong as I am hoping, then you will gain the respect of everyone and everything down here." He wasn't sure how true those words were, but he wanted her to hold onto hope. It was a powerful motivator... he knew that firsthand.

Amara watched Orion, shocked he had that much faith in her so soon. Even after years with other humans, they still thought she was nothing. While it was clear not all accepted her at the moment, she was grateful at least one did. Sokoya, well, she wasnt sure how the other felt about her at the moment, and she wasnt going to ask. "By worse, do you mean kill" she asked. She wasnt sure how she felt about that, but once more, she couldnt blame them. She was a trespasser, and a human to them. *Though, most humans dont also have powers* she thought.

"Yes... unfortunately many of the ones down here pride themselves on being able to kill quickly and mercilissly, so it must be stressed that you need to maintain an air of caution." Orion looked at Amara, noticing the change in mood that she had. He took a single breath before turning his head to the hallway which lead to the lizardmen. "If you are ready, why don't we get moving for your training to begin?" He was trying to not sound pushy, but he was one that liked to keep things moving.

Amara simply gave a small nod before she followed Orion. She was much weaker compared to the others there, and well, of course she would be an easy kill. She hoped it wouldn't come to that, but there wasn't much she could do other than that. When he mentioned her training she nodded again and began to follow him. She kept an eye open as she followed, knowing others would be watching her closely now.

Orion stayed silent as he walked through the hallway for the third time to lead Amara to the lizardmen. He knew that Lor-re would probably be the easiest of the three teachers for Amara to win over, since Orion found it rather easy to win him over during the early stages of his rule of the dungeon... Lor-re was one of the main reasons why he was able to win the trust of the lizardmen, and he would always be grateful for Lor-re opening the door for him and giving him a chance. "Today you will began your training in regards to your healing magic. How often have you used your healing magic before you came down here?" Orion asked Amara as he walked.

Amara looked over at Orion when he asked how often she used her healing before she came down here and she looked at her feet. "Unfortunately more than I wanted to" she admitted. "Once a week if not more depending on what my father felt like doing. He was so drunk nearly all the time he never questioned how I healed so quick" she said before she looked back at Orion, wondering what he was thinking.

"Your father was a drunk? Sad to hear that." Orion said without breaking pace. He had dealt with drunk adventurers before, so the prospect wasn't completely alien to him, but it was yet another footnote for her past life. "At least your healing powers helped you along..." He wasn't showing much emotion, but how could he? The dungeon had hardened him in regards to other's suffering, but Amara was different in a strange way... He did feel pity for her thanks to her past, but it wasn't much and he wasn't going to show for it. He wanted to make sure that no one knew that he was human underneath the mask and garb, and for right now that included Amara.
