let me know if the PP isn't okay!

arcturus could see dragomir's confidence in himself was waning with each swerve. this was not the lesson arcturus intended, but if ever there was a trial by fire for nerves, he supposed this game was as harmless as it could get: better for him to learn miserably now, than find out the hard way when the stakes were real.

thankfully, the stakes here were marginal -- after dragomir lunged forward with a snap of his teeth that arcturus had been expecting, he roughly shouldered past the boy and grabbed the stick and flung it. wheeling around, he readied himself for any retaliation on the boy's part.

"try again." arcturus spoke, his tone not unkind. he would wait for dragomir to situate himself over the stick's new position, and see what the boy had learned put to the test.
