That was totally okay with Dinah, 'cause she had her own person to teach this morning.

"You're sure you want to do eskrima first? We could start in the gym..."

"Yes." Dinah kind of found Sin's insistence on this adorable, and wasn't going to discourage it, since she always regretted not getting training when she was really little.

"Okay. Sticks it is, then." Dinah paused gave Arthur and his kid a small smile. "Hey, Arthur. And... son."

"Do not stop your drill," Arthur ordered. It was an order the boy took instinctively - something Arthur hadn't experienced with anyone for quite a while.

But he ignored that, passing by him to reach Dinah. "Dinah," he said, "Child. I think I'll leave you to your own training this time."

Sin actually bowed to Arthur, which had Dinah staring for a moment, blinking, then saying, "Yeah, Sin and I need to work on her eskrima drills anyway." Her mouth ticked sideways in a carefully suppressed smile. "Sin, say hello to my coach, Arthur Pendragon. He's teaching me swords and knives."

Sin bowed again and very gravely said, "Hello, Coach Pendragon. It is an honor to meet you."

Dinah resisted hugging her with a main effort.

Arthur gave her a slight nod to acknowledge her. Mainly. "That's Rhys," he said, gesturing towards the boy with his head. "He's not to be disturbed. Now, what is your mother teaching you today?"

"What will you do when you have no one who listens to you?"

"I manage to deal with you every day, don't I?"

"Ha ha. Rhys, your father thinks he's funny," Merlin called.

Rhys squinted at them both.

"Gwen says I'm not supposed to get involved," he said, sincerely. Wise, wise advice.

He'd also found it was best not to repeat Katchoo's description of exactly what this was, but it started in the word 'fore'.
