"Thanks," Angus told her quietly. "Yes. I did a week's worth to send to them tomorrow but I really didn't want to do a lot more than that, not that I sent them anyway, because I want them to use all the fresh food first that would have a quick spoiling tendency. However, I do want to do some alternate recipes that they might need for things that might not spoil quite so fast. I do know that kids who don't feel well will get picky about their food."
"I am tired," Angus told Aria. "It's been a long day. Oh, those two joined you, did they? Well, yes. That will give you a workout. They don't always ease up either to run with others that maybe aren't ready for that intense of a workout. When Robert gets back from the farm, you should run at least once with him and maybe do the obstacle course once with him. Trust me, I see how much criticism he takes from people who think that going with him will only slow them down because they think that if they run with an old man, they won't get a workout. As many years as I've run with him and done the obstacle course with him, I learn something new every time I go with him. I actually enjoy it. When someone underestimates him and goes with him, they generally shut it by the end of the first run."
"He notices if you have a stiff joint," Marcus said. "He notices if you need to gain more flexibility somewhere. He notices if you could get a much better score on the obstacle course just by changing one of your positions with one of the obstacles. And he's a great coach with dueling skills. Speaking of coaching, Angus, didn't you say, your gran showed you a new dueling move?"
"She did," Angus said.
"Show it to me?" Marcus said.
"Okay," Angus said. He stood up and drew his wand, and Marcus stood right beside him. Angus explained the move and moved slowly, and Marcus copied him.
"I've actually never seen that as a real move, but it really works. I'm a smaller target for an opponent, and, at the same time, I get more stability and better aim with my wand," Marcus said.
"And you can draw your wand a lot faster," Angus replied.
"Absolutely. That's a great move."
"Edward said it was one of her signature moves and said it helped her in fighting," Angus told him.
