It was my signature move."
Did the kid still want to know? Still want his 'skill'. "Why not ask your mom? She's got more of a level head than I ever did." He wasn't saying 'no' for the record, just investigating. Auror habits died hard.
A glance to the kid showed that he was thinking. There were thoughts turning behind the boy's eyes, not just a hard stall of stubbornness. That was good. It was a start. And he was taking the question seriously? Well, that was even better. "Literally. Or generally. One and the other, and both. Say I beat you down literally. You would fight. What if I beat you again? And generally, if you got back up, say I knocked you down again. What would you do?" More laughing... WHAT was so funny?
...
He was beginning to think that Sabel was hearing Fwoopers, because he was suddenly a little batty. This might be the last time he says something nice about him then, it's thats the reaction he gets. And now he was wondering if he was talking to the right person, though he knew deep down that he was. "See that's the thing, it WAS your signature move, but it IS my signature move. I don't think, I just act." So, could he teach him to... not act so much?
Zeke eyes just widened when his mum was brought into this. "You're kidding right? She's been getting her cronies to babysit me, instead of teaching me to hold my own, she'll just tell me I'm being silly." Silly. That's the word she used to describe him in most instances... which was fair enough most of the time. "Besides, she said you're ace at dueling, gave her a run for her money, so I want you to teach me." Mmhhmm. It wasn't only about level heads, it was also about those he could actually learn from.
Were these trick questions?
Zeke stared at Sabel for a moment, his cheeks puffing out with a breath before he let it escape. "I would fight, as long as it took," and if he kept generally getting knocked down...that too. "I'd get up again, and again, for as long as I had to." Why? Where was he going with this? Was he going to get beaten right now? Cause... he was down for that.
