How to Get Back Up

With rapt attention, Jericho listens to what Eltrys considers honorable and when one should fight with honor. Head bobs in agreement as another component is added to the talk; shame and guilt. Brows lift in silent realization as his concept of honor is expanded and shifted, showing him that he can always fight with honor no matter what his opponent chooses to do.

However, no matter what, when it comes to a dirty fight, they are expected to fight to survive. While the thought of maiming someone else is not pleasant, the boy knows that he will continue to come home, no matter who stands in his way. The black and white boy nods in understanding, knowing that he is walking away from this training with a broadened mind.

As Eltrys draws the meeting to a close, summarizing the key points they have learned, Jericho offers the man a small smile and dip of his head, grateful for have such lessons. The group separates, going about their various activities and he takes the opportunity to move up to their teacher and offer his gratitude before leaving to go chase down one of his siblings. After learning about fighting, a spar seems to be in order!
