Argurious saw the other three talking and that Jaim did not wait for Argurious but at the same time,the body knew that waiting for him would be just a waste of valuable time. Argurious decided to have a breather, and simply watched the trio talk as he rested. 
Once they finished he saw Jaim walk towards him.

Jaim wrestled with himself trying to think of a way to explain the strategi to the boy infront of him. Knowing what kind of a person was his father,he doubted this will go well. 

"Argurious..." Jaim looked at the boy silently for a moment before continuing."you will be our rear guard this fight.  I decided it best to leav it to you." 
Argurious had no idea what rear guard was. But being optimistic he pushed his breasts out with a smile hoping for something that would suit a great warrior. "What does that mean for me, where will i be fighting?"
Jaim was hoping the lad would not ask that question and simply accept the order as a good solider. But a question demands an answer.
Looking away, as if he was checking on other kids, he answered. "That means you will be beside laodike from the start and only kill anything that passes past us three. You are not to move from your spot and engage an enemy.... understood?!" 
It was obvious how all enthusiasm left Argurious as he realised that he was being protected and tried to be kept in less danger as possible. Like any youngster he tried to change Jaims order.
At the moment Jaim saw Argurious was about to argue the matter he cut him off. "NO but's you stay back,otherwise you can endanger our chances of success."
Turning his back to Argurious he grabbed the half digged bush, yanked it from the ground and started to carry it to where they need it. He was unhappy with how he handled the situation, but there was little to do about it now. "Come now lad there is work to be done."


With much less enthusiasm Argurious followed suit and began digging at the next bush.  The two said little as they worked and because of Jaim fast tempo Argurious had to rest often and just watch Jaim work by himself. 
Argurious did not know what to say to argue his position in the fight. Jaim tho being the one who made the decision and knowing why it was made, stayed silent because he didn't know what to say to make the situation better or to cheer up the boy. 


After the work was done Jaim told Argurious to take a break,the later being so tired he just went to shelter and collapsed exhausted without even a glimpse of arguing intentions.

Jaim walked to the other two children. "Brisa Aiden, how are things going? I dont see any frames did you already bury them?"
