Richard sighed, "Don't know if its the place, or just the fact that your high-profile job with WWN drew attention to you. I think you ought to see what works out while you're at Avalon. Only thing I can tell you is that I've sparred with you. Can't ever say for certain, because I wasn't there, but I was surprised to find you didn't do some serious damage of your own before you were taken out of the fight." He squeezed Lavender's hand back, "I've watched what happened, remember? It made me sick but I tried to look at it with as little anger as possible at the time, to see how you were taken down, as sick as it made me feel."
