Maybe. Of course, she also might wind up to flustered to be able to function. (Re: Now she knew how poor Corwin felt, a little lost in Cleveland.)
I kinda doubt that, but it may happen. (U: Oh common, you didn't even skip a beat when Juri's shirt came off. K:I still say she did that on purpose. U: What are you talking about, you're the one who slipped up and cut it off!)

No, I can't, but I'm pretty sure that I know the place that you're talking about. I think that it's in every movie ever set in Paris..

And he would also have an unfair advantage, what with knowing what his opponent was going to do, a couple of ticks before they even set it. Talk about telegraphing your moves...

I could say something about how that is typiclly the closing remarks from my SA meetings, but....
