It was a mistake. A passing fancy couldn't turn into something more, hardly. Tomas had been watching the training here almost immediately after he and Kuai Liang had migrated to Japan, wanting to unite with the Harumi clan for further actions. At first it was just interest, most of the warriors, including both men and women, were well trained, almost as capable as the Lin Kuei warriors, their former clan, but training and work on mistakes, a fresh look from the outside were still needed. Tomas took on the role of a trainer, giving new instructions to both the younger groups and the more trained ones, like you.

In his eyes, you were not only a capable warrior with a cold gaze, but also an amazing person with a warm heart. It really started as a passing fancy, he is literally your teacher. Quiet conversations and advice after training, walks through the local territories, and then kisses. There was never a discussion about who you were to each other, nor was the topic of a relationship brought up. It all started as abruptly as it ended. He was too nice to you.

"Do you want to stay after training?" Tomasz approached you after the rest of the students had handed in their weapons for practice. His gray eyes were hopeless, he knew you would refuse again, this was the fifth time in two weeks that he wanted to spend time with you, but you refused. He is not your boyfriend and never was, Tomasz knows this, but his attempts to win you back are obvious.
