The attack missed, thankfully for him. Back under control he closed his eyes, focusing on what Augustus was telling him. Throat, obvious. It was just the first place that Tharin wanted to attack. He wanted to strike there, use it to bring his opponent down. Opening his eyes he nodded. Of course it wouldn't be that easy. Things never were, were they? It could drive him mad, thinking about it. How many supposedly simple things had turned into complications?
He listened as Augustus divulged the more complex knowledge of being a fighter. Exploiting weakness. He didn't believe they were equal when a battle started. Size alone gave Augustus an advantage over most opponents. Picking a single weakness and then exploiting it like crazy, though. That was something Tharin could understand. That was something he could grasp. If he managed that, he could win. Nodding his head Tharin drank in the knowledge eagerly.
Nodding his head he grinned. Finding a weakness might be hard, but after that it sounded fair easy. Does it work with any weakness? Bad sight? Injured back? Rather like targeting prey. If he could apply that to fighting Tharin would be improving in no time at all. He was a great hunter. He just needed a direction to be pointed in so he could learn how to fight.
