Jacques, in hindsight, had been the perfect partner to learn how to wrestle a man in armor. By the time Ashlynn had begun training with Sybyll and Thane, there'd been no need for either of her vampiric mentors to teach her the basics of grappling; she already knew. Instead, they'd been able to focus on the methods of defeating the armor itself; how to wedge a blade between plates, twisting the point of a blade between links of mail, and other, more advanced techniques.
But she didn't need to peel Owain out of his armor just yet, nor was she ready to attempt to deliver a killing blow. Instead, she needed to knock him on the ground so she could see things up close, and for that, the Sandbox Witch's lessons were the greatest of all.
