Stubborn Choice

Master Benedict Cortez clearly noticed the difference.

Ves entered the room with confusion and uncertainty on his face. His demeanor was subdued and his mood was struggling under the burden of his own choices.

Now, he looked as if he had discovered the light at the end of the tunnel. His passion had lifted his indecision. His resolution helped him regain his confidence and he looked as if he had settled on a solid plan for his future development.

"If I may ask, what have you decided upon, Ves?" Benedict curiously asked. "Which of your two expert mech designs have you chosen to submit to your 'friend', and which research direction have you chosen as your major?"

Ves briefly contemplated whether it was wise for him to share this information to Benedict, but he eventually figured that Benedict had earned his trust.
