Ohu's mind races.
He cannot challenge his father to a riddle contest. His father would win. He cannot challenge him to a contest of wits. His father has outwitted all he has faced.
He must challenge his father to a contest that plays to his own strengths! And the strengths of the team!
"Then a challenge of precognition!" he declares. Ohu knows his father has some skill at seeing into the future, but none are as skilled as Sees Danger, any more than none are softer than Ohu's sibling Cushion.
He glances to Halbjorn. "And one of strength!"
Then to Svalin. "Combat!"
Aradis. "Archery!"
Griffen. "Technology!"
Simon. "Acting!"
Aslief. "Snark!"
Argo. "Wenching!"
Zoey. "Fingerpainting!"
Syd. "Disapproving gazes!"
Marlow. "Uh... eyeliner?"
He glances back over the last few. Okay, so he was running out of ideas. At least he knows they're better at those tasks than his father.
He glances at his father again, and reconsiders the challenge he thought of for Syd.
