Behind The Dorms, Tuesday After Classes

[bitchprince]

"During the attack two weeks ago, we found ourselves relying on our fellows," Arthur began, peering around the reserves. "It can be safer to go out in teams of two or three, especially when our vision is limited and larger groups might become unwielding. We have spent a lot of time training ourselves individually, but it is small groups that will have our attention today."

He gestured at the group. "I'd like you to find a partner or two. Discuss your skills or powers, and determine whether or not they compliment each other. Practice combinations of individual skills wherever possible. We won't get you all up to anticipating each other's movements in one session, but it will be a start."

A beat.

"If possible, try to meet up and do the same several times this week," he said, "If nothing else, it has become obvious we are strongly in need of small teams used to working with each other."

Mat pulled a knife out of his sleeve and spun it between his fingers. "I didn't say that," he said with a wink. "I can also thump any noble with a sword using a quarterstaff. I'm a decent shot with a bow and arrow, too."

Ino arched one brow.

"Can you thump oh fearless leader over there?" ... She was curious. Shut up. "And see, that's dangerous omitting," Ino scolded. "What if someone hadn't asked 'bout weapons and went on thinkin' you were useless and it did come to a fight in some invasion? They'd be makin' mistakes in watching their back 'cause they'd be watching yours."

"Arthur?" Mat checked, then grinned again. "I can definitely thump him. I beat two Warder-trained princelings when I was just out of a sickbed. And I helped free Lady Winchester last weekend, so I'm no slouch. I just don't want it widely advertised."

"Warder-trained?" she asked curiously, then shook her head. "Fine, fine. I'll let you pass this time."

Besides, she hardly wanted the same lecture about her powers. Ew, no.

"So how do you think we'd work best together?"

"Warders keep Aes Sedai alive," Mat said. Helpful, really. And then he described a battle plan that would optimize on Ino's skillset.

He also forgot to mention that he was a bit of a tactician.

"Would that do?"

...

...

"I see," she said, her tone somewhere between amused and horrified. "You're one of those people."

Ino had experience with overly efficient tactician types, yes.

"The handsome ones? It is a burden, but yes," Mat replied, winking.
