Faylorna quickly grew tired of listening to them gush about Carl. "You two need to shut up and focus. I'm glad you're working together, truly... I may not understand it, but I don't really care.
We have much training to and I've decided I'm retiring in a few days..."
Both halves of Klaire stopped talking in an instant. "What do you mean "retiring in a few days"?"
"Simple. As you just displayed, when you put your mind to it, you are vastly superior to me. I realise now, you've been falling behind because you're waiting for us to train you. Carl is improving, because he's always pushing himself.
Now I am going to set time here to a nightmare. You can leave when you can beat me with ease and know everything I have to teach. You can dally and take all the breaks you want, but if you're as old as I am now when you see Carl again, you'll only have yourself to blame."
