Crossroads: Crystal Fire & Desert Blood

By the way, do you want to cover the sparring match between Kor and Veritas? Ver is supposed to be The Best swordsman in the Mara, right? And quite probably better even than Terran, who is one of the best outside of the Mara. And Kor, while having natural talent and a tiny bit of training, is nowhere near the best at anything even remotely martial. So... Ver is going to beat him soundly, growing Gift or not. Care to describe how? I know loquiri are very different than other fighters, but I do not have a strong grasp of how precisely they are different, other than that they are better.
