Jers wouldn't actually put Craven in a battle, just training.

Jers looked at Kelly and the guy with the spatula. "Battles can be rough, and y'all are right-is no place for an 8-year ol'. How'ver, he can be trained for the time bein', eh?" And then he looked at Spatula man. "Yer right, ther's no cowardice in avoidin battles. How'ver, is not som'in too avoid jus cuz ya don un'erstan it. Let Craven make his own choice, eh?" Crispin just decided to wait for Fadran tell them what their first assignment was.

I don't scudding know what our first assignment is!

Blast it, imma throw out some arbitrary things...

"Alright!" Fadran announced, clapping his hands together. "We have a few problems right now, each of which needs solving. Problem one: Wyrn. If we could get someone here to stay with the resistance and lead them to victory, then that'd be great. Problem two: the Witherlord. I know that Jeffery knows something about that, and to be completely honest, I do not. Problem three: Clan of Fenon. In terms of martial power, this empire is probably the strongest. Ayia and I know a few strategic universes that we'd want to start with, so we might want a few teams for them. Problem four: Rish. She's a god and she has one of our own, which is decidedly bad."

Fadran let out a breath. "Now... as I understand it, Martin comes from an earth with enhanced soldiers. Perhaps he could lead a team there to gather some forces. Nath, you're obviously the man for the job in terms of the Rish problem. Ayia and I can lead some teams against the Clan, maybe Ashley can help us with the Witherlord, and... I dunno what else. There are still a lot of options right now."

Crispin nodded in understanding. "We've got Wyrn." a couple of soldiers cheered and raised weapons. "I'll be gathering reinforcements, bringing my troops up to speed, et cetera.

Martin nearly chokes.  Fadran has no idea what he just said.  He can't.

What Fadran means is that Ayia found him and "begged" (coerced) him to get Marvin fixed.

But does Martin know that?  (I'm now raising my eyebrow the way Rafiki would, the Shard doesn't have the right emoji.)

Martin looks around, trying to find Ayia.  She can help him explain this, probably.  He hopes so.

"Alright, you're choice, kid. Also, don't be too quick to sign up for military service," Kelly continued, "Make sure you know the terms and conditions. You usually have to sign a good chunk of your life away. Not saying this is like that, just be careful."

Terms and conditions? Craven thought. That sounded like work.

Craven raised his hand. “Can I go with Martin?”

[Flaming Coinshot he/him]

Jers shrugged and backed off, and Crispin looked half relieved and half disappointed. Jers walked back to Craven.

Btw, there's no terms and conditions.

"Uhh... maybe?" Fadran looked over at Martin questioningly.

Martin makes a face.  "This would be better discussed without a lot of onlookers," he hedges.

[Channelknight Fadran]

"Alright. Does anyone mind if Martin and I chat for a moment?"

[Mat he/him]

Craven almost asked if he could tag along, but realized he knew the probable answer to that question, so he didn't say anything except "Nope!"

"Keep the dyrlings in mind also," added Ashley. "They will have fled in every direction now that they are freed."

“As a rider, I have access to all the strength of my patron great beast. I can only draw that strength for incredibly short periods of time. So I prefer to just use it in dire circumstances. I can easily fend for myself in the wilderness, but be warned, I’m not great with other people.”

"So you can become really buff but not for long." Fadran nodded. "Cool."

Doesn't seem to be working very well.

The cat darted in from behind Stephen and scratched at Trevor's lunch box, hissing. The cat tried to jump up onto it and free it from Trevor's grasp.

@Merciful

Trevor grabbed the cat's face and shoved it aside. Tarnished knives, that little boy is joining a revolution while I'm cowering in the corner fighting a kitten for my lunch! I've got to do something about this.

Standing, Trevor announced, "I'm sure you all would be very grateful to have my fine assistance, as well. I can do about anything you need, just tell me what it is. My abilities can assist me in facing about any challenge."

Looks around blinking. I've been summoned back to action it seems.

I look around at this group of mismatched beings and cannot help, but be impressed at Fadran's leadership. This team is just eclectic enough to conquer the myriad forces that seem to find us. I nod my head. "It will be my pleasure." I keep the darkness that I'm feeling from showing.

"Discussion?"  Martin says quietly to Fadran.

"Yep. Tent." Fadran opened a flap, kicked out a random soldier, and ducked inside.

[Spren of Kindness she/her]

Martin follows him, putting his hands behind his back.

[Channelknight Fadran]

Closing the tent flap, Fadran said, "yeah, I know, I know. Bad place, don't go... that's not why I'm sending you there."

[Spren of Kindness she/her]

"What?"  That doesn't make sense.
