Chapter 248: A New Skill
Max and Dexic stood side by side, listening to Tom critique them again.
“Dexic,” the older man said with a sigh. “Stop trying to do everything. Trust Seth.”
The woman groaned and nodded, not bothering to look at the young man she once brought into a troll dungeon and now knew could kick her arse.
“I’m trying, but it’s hard. You and I both know I’m used to doing the work up front. Even in the groups, everyone reacts to me.”
Tom stood there, arms crossed, as he tapped his fingers against his arms.
“You realize that as you fight and lead, Seth has reacted perfectly to you each time? I’m impressed by how well he moves even though he has never adventured with you before. Now, let’s try it again. Why don’t you try to follow his lead for once?”
The golden warrior muttered something, but nodded, motioning for Max to move ahead.
“This is why I fight alone,” she whispered as Tom moved back to where Everett was waiting.
“Would you prefer to do this alone?” Max asked as he swung the dueling sword a few times before him.
