Tactical Approach

Ashiel arrived promptly, and Amon mentally marked it as a step in the right direction. Every time his path crossed with the boy's he found himself considering all that had been said of the boy, and decided he had not been disappointed yet. Ashiel's greeting was proper and courteous, and Amon returned the gesture with a welcoming nod of his own and an answering smile. "Ashiel. It is good that you arrived so quickly. You are growing into quite the capable young man."

The praise came easily to his lips, because the titan had no doubt that it was true. He believed that hard work ought to be rewarded, after all. "You mother tells me of your aspirations, and I do not hesitate to say I too believe you have the makings of a leader. I wanted to discuss your combat training so far, and the areas in which you feel the most in need of improvement, and discuss a plan to ensure you reach your fullest potential."

Amon was concise and forthright, and perhaps it sounded a bit more like a business meeting than a conversation between kin, but that was hardly a thought in Amon's mind. He gestured towards the engorged creek. "When your mother and I were young your grandfather would bid us to train by walking against flood streams. It strains your muscles in unexpected ways, and helps to keep you light on your toes and reflexive as well. Come. We will wade as we talk."

Amon did not wait to hear his nephews response as he turned towards the water. The current was swift, but he knew that if they stuck near the banks they would be spared the largest and most dangerous debris, which would have concentrated in the main channel. He began to press into the current and waited for Ashiel to begin whatever report the boy could conjure.
