Everyone stopped at a gathering in the birch tree forest. Logan turned to Thomas.

"Do you know how to fight?" Logan asked.

"N-No... I don't." Thomas muttered. Logan summoned a sword and handed it to Thomas.

"You need to wield the blade in order to defeat the Jabberwocky," Logan said.

"Excuse me, but why are you teaching him how? I'M the King, I should teach him!" Roman said.

Logan glared at Roman. He looked back at Thomas.

"Here's what you do," Logan said, summoning a sword. He walked a few feet away. "So, I charge at you and you block my attack."

Thomas slowly nodded and gulped. He looked at the sword in his hand and took a deep breath.

Logan charged forward and brought the sword up. Once he brought it down, Thomas reflectively blocked his attack with the sword.

"Very good." Logan smiled and backed up. Thomas looked around. He saw that Patton was staring at Logan in awe.

'Probably daydreaming about them together...' Thomas thought. Then he looked at Virgil and Roman. They kept their distance from each other and didn't even look at the other. 'I wonder what's up with those two...'

"Logan?" Thomas said as him and Logan were taking a break from fighting.

"Yes?" Logan asked.

"Can you tell me what happened with Virgil and Roman? They look so distant..." Thomas said as he gazed at them.

Patton walked up to them. "Hey, kiddos!"

"Patton, for the last time... I am not a 'kiddo'." Logan used air quotations. Patton just giggled and sat next to him. "Thomas, why do you want to know about Virgil and Roman?"

"I don't know... just curious, I guess." Thomas shrugged.

Patton and Logan looked at each other and then back at Thomas.

"Well..." Logan started.
