Curtis and Eurus enter the great hall, the guys are waiting for them in front of a huge library.

(Bhaal): it's not too early...
(William): leave them Bhaal, she needs time to get used to and find her bearings.
(Eurus): what did we come to do here ?
(Louis): test your skills.
(Eurus): sorry ?
(Biakhov) what Louis means is that since you are an elite you are supposed to know how to fight, so we want to test you.

Louis looks at the girl with a smirk before rushing towards her to hit her.

(Louis): defend yourself !

the young girl's eyes turn black, she dodges and returns her blow. The team looks at her, shocked. Louis lets out a dark laugh.

(Louis): that's it...

William and Biakhov rush at Louis to stop him from hitting Eurus again.

(Curtis): I think we better stop there...

after a silence everyone leaves the room except William and Louis.

(William): Can you explain to me what just happened ?
(Louis): I have nothing to explain, I just saw that she had...something, so I attacked.
(William): wait...did you know ?
(Louis): I speak little but I observe. Her mother was famous for that.
(William): You really need to talk to us more than that Louis...

Louis does not answer but looks at William uneasily

(William): I know you don't like it Louis. But you have to.
(Louis): excuse me, but I am like that and I would not change.

William puts a hand on Louis's shoulder.

(William): If you want to talk to me about something I'm here and you know it. Do you know of anything else besides her ?
(Louis): no, I would have talked about it.
(William): smiling: are you sure ?  Because I have doubts.

Louis smiled back at him

(Louis): do you know how to smile after all ?
(William): ok you got me...
(Louis): come on, let's join the others.

William keeps his smile on before removing it when he arrives in front of the others.

(William): So ?...
