he's gonna do a superhero landing

Rhyme and Valentine were more or less in agreement when it came to passion and instinct. They were as integral to the fight as anything else, although Valentine suspected his son placed too great a value on them. He would take an experienced but apathetic fighter over an inexperienced but passionate one any day in a fight. Had they been talking about training he certainly would have chosen the latter, but in a life or death situation? Without question he'd take the former.

Rhyme's question caught the old king completely off guard. He'd expected their little exchange to last a few more rounds as Rhyme tried to convince him and Valentine tried to reason with him, but he hadn't, not even once, considered the possibility that Rhyme would ask him to train his cousin. He was baffled by the query and it showed in his face.

After getting over his surprise, Valentine's next reaction was to snort derisively. What a silly, useless endeavor...right? ...Wasn't it? His amused expression vanished and he frowned deeply as he considered his son's proposition. Training some wet-behind-the-ears alpha would take time, time that would be better spent gathering experienced fighters. But, and this was a big one, training Shaye would appease his son and probably Rhythm too. While he wasn't fond of the idea, he'd just gotten them back and it wouldn't do him any good to strain their relationship with something like this.

Against his better judgement, Valentine found himself nodding. "Alright...yeah...but I set the terms and if she finds them disagreeable she can forget about coming along." After a moment's thought, he added, "I'll give her a fair shake, but if I don't think she has what it takes and I tell her no, I mean no," he said firmly.
