No Back Stabbing

Sol and Khonsu felt the weight of many eyes upon them as others joined the gathering. It wasn’t the first time they had encountered such stares, this was a world that favored the ordinary.

Sol, the more sensitive of the two, shifted uneasily under the gaze of Absinth, whose expression of fascination and surprise was hard to miss. "Yes, quite unusual, isn't it?" He murmured softly, a hint of self-consciousness in his voice. Khonsu, ever the bolder counterpart, added with a more assertive tone. "But it makes us twice as effective in serving our mistress Yarra and now, in training here."

As Aresenn began to outline the basics of group combat tactics, Sol and Khonsu listened attentively, their heads tilted slightly to catch his every word. They had some experience in skirmishes, but only for the purpose of self-defense or to drive away a predator, none of it in a group setting. At mention of the concept of fighting in a wedge formation and defending in an outward-facing circle, the twins considered the strategic advantages. "In a wedge, we could take a central position." Khonsu suggested. Their mistress would be pleased to see them participating in the group's discussions, right? "Our.. unique form could be an asset, covering angles that might be blind spots for others. And in a circle defense, we can watch two directions simultaneously, allowing us to warn others of incoming threats."
