Meeting Alexander

[Säde waits in the Club castle foyer, hands held behind her as she examines her surroundings, matching them with what she remembers of her last visit. She has caught a nearby Four, sending him to summon his King. No hurry. She came unannounced, after all.]

"But harder to put off guard with simple pain"

[He counters, not taking the discussion seriously, but speaking his mind none the less]

If they must be inured to pain, surely there are better methods than continuously being outmatched in combat. [No, she's not suggesting torture. Goodness, the places a mind can go to.]

"When we learn to perform when outmatched in practice, we do not embarrass ourselves when it happens in reality."

True... but it isn't always possible to have an even mix of the excellent and the inexperienced, or even a full set of excellent fighters. And right now? The Deck is pretty lopsided with inexperienced fighters. [The Hearts, for one. A good third of the Diamonds, for another- though she won't mention that.]

[By noting one of his own points of contention she has effectively neutralized any attempt he would make at practicing intrigue - at least on this point]

"We agree on that matter. Do you see this as a problem?"

It's unlikely that we'd face any threats from the outside world. From within... it's one thing to have Suits tolerant of each other, and another to have warring Suits.

[Damned non-answers put him even further from a subtle mood, especially coming from this well-kept porcelain thing before him]

"I think you have not seen the same frontier I have - or perhaps you've only read about it in tabloids.

As to tolerance, it's all well and good until one runs out of cheeks to turn."

[Too bad she lives for non-answers.]

The only ones outside who know are the ones we leave to come here- or the ones who leave the Deck after growing up here. What could they possibly have against us?

[Silly question. Her dear brother despises the Deck, as she well knows.]

And there ought to be compromise. The Deck comprises four Suits, not one or two. We can't allow it to be decimated by petty things.
