Jones did not understand what was so impractical about teamwork and planning. He really wondered if Eadgar had taken too many hits to the head with his sword or something. “It’s not about looking at a piece of paper in the heat of battle, it’s about using teamwork to complement each other’s strengths and weaknesses. I can’t fight very well, but Siobhan can. I know more about medicine than she does, and so on. I don’t care as much about the paper as much as knowing what she can do for the sake of working together.” 

He did understand his captain’s point about fate though, even if he didn’t necessarily believe in fate himself. What Jones knew he believed in, however, was Siobhan’s gut. Even though the swordsman seemed a little dumb right now, the woman had managed to successfully defeat both Redwell and Bluewell.

The doctor nodded at Siobhan. “Right. That’s why I’m here,” Jones said with a smile.
