Arael came out of his daze and lifted his head at the sound of his name, and the voice of the commander. He tensed some when Anders came up behind his chair to examine his small wings, feeling a tad embarrassed by their size. "T-thank you, sir." He spoke, not bothering to hide his surprised voice.

He could continue his training, and possibly get to go on a practice assignment with his mentor.
