Venerable Joshua and the Everchanger observed the feats of other friendlies while they awaited their turn.
They became impressed by how extensively Venerable Isobel, her companion spirit and the Promethea managed to set an entire warship on fire.

"Do you think you are better or worse than the Promethea?"
"IT DEPENDS ON YOUR CRITERIA. I MAY BE OLDER THAN HER, BUT I AM A MASTERWORK THAT EXPERIENCED MORE GROWTH. I HAVE MORE ASCENSION RUNES THAN THE PROMETHEA AND POSSESS A MORE EXTENSIVE AND VARIED LOADOUT OF WEAPONS. I SHOULD EASILY BE ABLE TO BEAT HER IN A DUEL."
