The request

Oswald was observing the fights, he understood the Titans' strategy, it was simply overwhelming their opponent with their strength, still when they fought each other, it became a time trial during which they would go all out, often letting their warcry heat the public.

Having his focus disrupted by the little pressure on his lower back, he saw the kid asking for attention anew.

"Mind to follow me? Just for a minute." He said.

"Lead the way." Oswald nodded.

Knowing he was still being observed, he kept a straight back and avoided making a fool out of himself next to the highest ranked of the camp.

'He's giving me a chance. This is far much easier than I expected.' He thought, entering the private space at the back of the room.
