For the first time in a long time, Adelheid felt excited to be heading into the night. He finally had something to look forward to; a sparring match with someone who clearly seemed to know what he was doing. It had been far, far too long since Adelheid had gotten the chance to fight against someone who didn't want to kill him; that meant, hopefully, that he could accomplish something tonight. He certainly hoped that such would be the case, anyway.

More importantly, he finally felt awake. The curse was gone, and for that, Adelheid couldn't be happier. It felt like there was finally a reason for optimism, at long last!
