The War Simulation

"Your wound," Ronan whispered as he grabbed Lucien's arm. "If you run around in your wolf form, the wound will tear again. Rest for the day, it will not be too late to join tomorrow."

Lucien scowled in displeasure.

Great.

Thanks to Ronan, he was going to miss out on an exciting war simulation. "This is all your fault."

Aware of his contribution to the situation, Ronan was quick to agree. "I know. If you want, we can practice some combat skills with weapons. How does it sound? It will also be useful for you on the battlefield."

Training was training. Human form or wolf form. With or without weapons.

Lacking better alternatives, Lucien begrudgingly agreed.

When Jake saw the bandages around Lucien's neck, he didn't even bother to ask. He also did not wish to know the details.

"Hi Lucien," he greeted before handing two spears to Lucien and Ronan. "I will go and watch the war simulation."

Ronan nodded at him in agreement.
