"Yes, sir. I prefer training early." Another heartfelt smile as she retrieved her daggers. "I will do as you have instructed. Thank you again. And... perhaps... next week? If you are quite sure. If you have a moment later this week, please just let me know which day works for you, and I will make myself available." It would be worth rearranging her schedule.
With that, she set into the practice dummy with a vengeance, paying especial attention to the placement of her hip and shoulder. If she was to return next week, she must show him progress worth seeing, lest he reconsider taking the time to train her.
