Phantom Hollow Sparks filled with hope

It surprised the queen to see that she hadn't been the only one to awaken so early today, and the surprise could be seen in her yellow orbs. She gave a warm smile to the boy, wondering what had awakened him. Had she not been quiet enough? Oh dear, she thought as she went over the past few minutes. Perhaps she had stepped too hard on a twig, perhaps the boy was not a sound sleeper. Whatever it was, she felt like it was her fault that he hadn't slept well.

Oh, I'm sorry, did I wake you Issun? She asked, her head cocking to the left, a concerned look on her face. To answer his question, she cocked her head back. There is indeed. My training has been lacking these past few weeks... She hinted before continuing. I could use someone to practice with. She didn't know if the boy would even want to get into offensive fighting. For all she knew, he could be a plant loving romeo. But, it was worth a shot.
