Problem Child

The boy was quick to deny ill intent. Good. Odysseus didn't believe him (he had a reputation for a reason) but was a start. With that answer, if Noir had a setback later Odysseus could remind him of what he'd said. If he was a proud creature having his integrity questioned might just bring him back into line. "Good," he rumbled. "I've found that difficult students excel at nothing and I would hate," he said pointedly, "to get through a lesson or two and discover that I would be better off teaching one of your siblings."

In response to the boy's question Odysseus nodded and said, "We are. Come, walk with me." The boy was probably going to be disappointed to learn that their first lesson wouldn't involve any actual fighting. In Odysseus' opinion Noir wasn't ready for that. If he liked to throw his weight around already, teaching Noir how to defend and attack first would only help him become a better bully. No, what he needed to learn was restraint.

Odysseus began to walk away in the direction of the Falls. "Tell me, Noir, why do you want to learn how to fight?"
