“I have been through the most refined training in all Shadow,” Merlin said smugly. He sipped his tea, little finger delicately extended. “Falling Blossom style, Five Dragon style, Fivefold Shadow Hand style, Golden Janissary style, Orgiastic Fugitive style, Righteous Devil style, Unconquerable Hero style, Celestial Monkey style, Ebon Shadow style, Hungry Ghost style, Dreaming Pearl Courtesan style, I am now master of all of them . . . gah!”
“Merlin!” Jurt cursed, readying his blade for another thrust. “Back from Shadow in time to meet your death!”
“And yet, the style of Looking Behind You seems to elude you,” Mandor murmured, pouring more tea.
