A Burning Ferris Wheel [Malleus]

Malleus eyed his young cousin curiously. Hearing that Ashiel struggled with hesitating brought Malleus' own childhood training to mind. "Does the idea of hurting your opponent make you nervous?" That was something he'd struggled with in the beginning. He vividly remembered being afraid of getting hurt and imposing that fear on his opponents. He'd been afraid to make others feel the way he'd felt whenever he was anticipating a blow. It had been a hard habit to break and he was curious to hear if Ashiel was the same way. Perhaps if he was, the titan's experience might help.
As Ashiel made his way down to the same level, Malleus made his way back the way he'd come. Just a few feet back the narrow ledge he was on opened up into a wide clear area.
Still thinking about what Ashiel had said, he offered another possible reason for the boy's hesitance. "Or," he offered, "do you think you are afraid of getting hurt? It can be hard to stick your neck out knowing your opponent is going to get a chance to retaliate."
