“I’m not holding any hopes of beating you like that.” Tarble states, pointing at his brother. “But I need to do this. I need to test for myself how far I’ve come.”

>A. Cheer on Tarble! He can do this!>B. …This might actually be a strategy Tarble’s come up with. Hrmn. Keep watch over what dad’s doing>C. So, Keli, if he’ll be ready for a sudden, overwhelming attack, what strategy do you propose?>D. Something else?
