Enrique approached his father a little more cautiously than his brother. After all he had watched yesterday's proceedings from a safe distance.
Diego began with the salute, which Enrique was careful to copy perfectly.
"Very good, Enrique, very good."
Enrique grinned a little.
"Lunge," Diego said. Enrique performed a perfect lunge.
Diego circled the boy, and nodded. "You have studied your book well."
"Thank you, Father. May I apologise for my ungentlemanly behaviour yesterday?"
Diego raised his eyebrows with mild amusement. "Of course, a wise move, my son."
Enrique smiled a little.
"Parry," Diego commanded, as he lunged.
"Lovely parry."
