Jax spoke without looking at her. "I was an absolute fool to think you deserved those numbers. Completely fooled into believing that the Delphine I witnessed in that past world possessed a brilliant mind far beyond the fragile child standing here and complaining to me right now."

"Yes, I haven't forgotten your behaviour toward me. I hated your insufferable attitude and the endless rudeness you threw in my face. Those arrows of yours that conveniently missed their target and found me instead directly or indirectly. I haven't forgotten the way you always butt in my plans followed by those harsh words. I was standing right there when you were about to commit the murder of a child who hadn't even learned to tie her own shoes yet. And I was there when you committed the ultimate act of stupidity by fighting alongside me in a battle where victory wasn't even on the table."
