(Biakhov): Do you think things are going well there ?
(Bhaal): stop worrying.
(Biakhov): I can not worry.
(Bhaal): good. So worry about the triplets that have been slaughtered by William for...oh...thirty minutes already.
(Eurus): guys ?
(Biakhov): Eurus ! It's okay ? Aren't you hurt ? How did that happen ? He is nice ?
(Eurus): I'm fine. Everything is fine.  Picara is a good person.
(William): Picara ? Is that the name of your shadow ?
(Eurus): Right.
(3): how...is it possible ?
(1): are you invincible or what ?
(Biakhov): it's just you who are too weak...
(2): hey shut up.
(William): Louis and Curtis still haven't finished ?
(Eurus): no I haven't seen them. But it looked pretty calm.
(Bhaal): uh...calm ? It’s weird.

At this point, Curtis walked into the training room, covered in blood and exhausted.  He still holds a blade in his hand.

(Biakhov): oh sh** !
(William): Curtis !? What happened ?
(Curtis): I'm sorry. I didn't have a choice.
(William): Bhaal, go see what's going on !
(Bhaal): y-yes...
(Biakhov): I'm going with him.
(Eurus): what happened Curtis ?
(Curtis): Everything went well for you.  This is a good thing.
(William): answers Curtis ! What have you done ?
(Curtis): Don't make me talk about it right now, please.

William sees the distress in his friend's eyes very well. He takes him in his arms and tries to reassure him as best he can.

(William): it's not as easy as the last time, eh ?
(Curtis): I'm sorry, I didn't mean to I promise.
(William): calm down first. Everything will be fine. You can explain everything to me later, okay ?
(Curtis): What if he doesn't do it ? I...it wasn't supposed to be like this.
