"Some experiences have but one outcome as well- I believe your sister learned that one the hard way." Pointed, yes- but true.
Echo had been a fine student- but Victor Fox, it seemed, was a man unwilling to die. Laureline had never trained him, and never even had the pleasure of a shared conversation- but she had heard the stories. As ruthless in a challenge as any Spade before him had been. His form left something to be desired, but he had what many in the Spades currently seemed to lack- the foresight to know his opponent entirely and to capitalize on their weaknesses.
And that was all he needed.
"I am surprised that Mr. Fox has not yet met a Spade who is able to best him- of all my students, surely there must be someone able to take on the man. But then- I suppose if your betters have fallen to him- it is of no surprise you have never tried."
