Summary
As a freshly promoted young General with a laser-focus on his future goals, the last thing Mika Ver Leth wanted was an apprentice to slow him down.
As a freshly abandoned ex-apprentice with no idea what to do next, the last thing Arra Sails wanted was another mentor to merely tolerate her, only to give up when she inevitably became "too much to handle".

"If you think I'm going to let anyone keep me in line, you can both go to hell." Arra interjected, glaring at them.
"Don't worry, Sails. The last thing I want is an apprentice." Mika snorted, rolling his eyes. "And trust me, I don't discriminate by gender. I've turned down three offers this year alone. I don’t have time to babysit."
"Come on, Mika. Think about it. You said it yourself - you're chasing glory. Everyone knows you have your eyes on an investiture. If you took a chance on a woman and actually managed to turn her into something worthwhile, it would make you that much more impressive to the Princes!" Ivan pressed, starting to look a little manic.
Something in Mika's face shifted, but it was clear he wasn't one to wear his emotions on his sleeve. When Arra felt her heart shatter, she didn't hide it nearly as well.
