(no sws, just comment here, open to anyone who might see it)
Almost a month after his meeting with Lancelot, there's little hint of the limp that had been plaguing him afterward. Which is likely a good thing since he's sparring with an Eight who needed to be provided with a lesson in humility.
No worries, he won't cut the boy up too much. He had promise, after all, if he just wasn't so cocky. Julien had caught him bragging that he could take on anyone in the Suit, even the Ace. After all, the kid had said, the Ace was immune from being challenged and just riding on a reputation he'd built years earlier.
Julien was merely offering him the chance to prove himself right.
Too bad for the kid he was left sprawled on the practice room floor with a concussion and a knot on the side of his head to remember him by.
