Challenge for King of Clubs

Julien didn't often attend Club challenges, but considering he had had a hand in this one, it had seemed something he should see.

Well that, and this wasn't just any challenge, but a Kingmaking.

He may be, of course, the only person watching actually disappointed Elisha doesn't finish the job, though. Still, the man will get a grudging congratulations, "appears you do retain your lessons."

Also, it appears that Julien was right, as usual.

"I like to think I pay attention in class," Elisha says dryly, nodding at the Ace of Spades. The disappointment - oh, he knows you're disappointed, Julien - makes his lips quirk up and he nods at where Eileen is standing.

"She's seen enough death for one year." Especially when Elisha can just as easily get Alexander out of his hair with assignment.

Julien follows Elisha's nod and, of course, he has to concede the point. "I suppose you're right."

What? Even Julien can admit when he's wrong, sometimes.

And he'll add on to the end of that, "your Majesty."

It's truly a red-letter day. Julien has admitted he's wrong. Elisha should write it down.

But he'll just nod in acknowledgment. "Thank you, Julien."

He bowed the precise amount an Ace ought to give the King of another Suit. "You're welcome. I suppose I shall leave you to your adoring public..."

"I suppose you should." Today was for celebrating, after all. Tomorrow for moving and getting down to the business of running the Clubs.

Which he'd been doing anyway.
