With his parents essentially being responsible for Charlie's wellbeing as the kid got his feet under him, he had to come with them when they went to Kellen's class for Field Guide training.
It was like an awakening for Charlie. He was wide eyed, bushy tailed, his mouth wide open as he watched his fellow Guides move, exercise, and fight with wooden sticks against standing dummies. Kellen was a little confused that he was so entranced by the Guides, but he wasn't going to argue with him about it.
He was far too skinny still to be able to even be in the 'regular' class. If they did a second intake, maybe, but that was months out. Charlie would just have to watch, he guessed, or…Kellen's gaze slid to his Mom. He knew that if he showed enough interest, there was a chance that she would take notice. And knowing his parents…Well, Charlie might be getting the same training Kellen did.
