Quiet Streams Pass By

FitzDutiful was very impressed by the newest member of the pack. She seemed very eager to learn, help and better herself. If he had known that she intended to leave he would have happily ignored it, for surely one wishing to learn trades wanted the best for their pack?

He didn't have to think very hard on what he wanted her to do for her warrior trade. "First, you must win at least one spar." He knew that could be difficult but if she sparred enough it would happen eventually. There was a chance that Bindi could do that while training for her warden skill too. "Secondly, I want you to think of some tactical manoeuvres that could come in handy if we were to launch an assault and report them back to me."

He really hoped the need wouldn't arise, but it was better to be prepared. A warrior was the counterpoint to the defensive skills of a warden. Whereas a warden only needed to ensure their lands were safe a warrior, in FitzDutiful's mind, needed to know how to attack against another.
