Herik hadn't gotten the peace he wanted to when he went off on his own. He could still hear the girls in the next room arguing for the sake of it. There were a lot of pieces he wasn't sure they should be involved in. Saul and Schmidt weren't there business. Going after whatever Annabelle and Babylon would get them killed. He didn't have anymore time to waste doing side missions. His mother is getting worst by the day. He has two people willing to help him. They have to get a move on. He got himself together and went back into the room in time to hear Claudette mention training. Finally, the thing they should've been doing the whole time. It's useful and he'll learn more about his abstraction. 

He hitched a ride with Madison and Claudette to the training ground. Just a field in the middle of the forest. He saw the possibility of it burning down with the Coven around. He hoped it didn't come to that. He shook his arm out before he left the car, Asta appeared at his side. He slid from the seat to the lion and placed his crutches against the car. Claudette pulled out a field flag from the trunk. Ah, yes, capture the flag. He hasn't played that since he was in high school. This wasn't going to end well. Gentle wasn't in the Coven's vocabulary. He imagined the plastic flag in tatters with only the stick left behind.

He didn't hesitate to ask Emily and Vashti to be on his team. Seems like Emily can do something new, which is cool, and he thinks he'll work well with Vashti. The members he knew wouldn't work out were Maya and Madison. They'd argue with Emily the whole time and Madison had a little to drink before they came. He's already injured, he doesn't want to be a casualty of friendly fire or lose from lack of teamwork. 

"Considering you have a hard time getting along with most people, Emily, we can't let Madison or Maya on our team. You'll argue the whole time. I think Isla would be a good member. Having her means an easy win, but we won't get much training if she can get it and come back."
