"The king began to twit him as the attacks failed. "That didn't work last time either. Are you going to try it again?" Frustrated, Damon was driven to overextend himself, and the king disarmed him." (p368)
"I've seen him suffer setbacks." Ornon looked at the queen and away. "I have never seen him, in the end, lose. He just persists until he comes out ahead. No match is finished for him until he has won." Ornon shrugged expressively. "He won't quit, and he won't thank you for interfering." (p372)
ETA: Eugenides versus Howl Jenkins in the finale!!!

Alanna might give him a run for his money, but from what I remember of her, she's too easily riled and we know how Gen is. :D He's got enough stamina to draw her into overexerting herself and losing her focus. Alanna usually won because her opponents would underestimate her, and she had enough stamina and skill to outlast them. She does have magic, but I don't remember her being able to do all too much with it. Gen is certainly clever enough to outdo her.
He WOULD poke at her for being a girl. I could see him doing that to Helen.
Join me in my cheer.
DOWN WITH THE LIONESS!

Date: 8/22/10 12:51 am (UTC)I mean, she's been hearing people say crap about her being a girl for years now. And she's not stupid.
I think Gen would win ultimately, but I don't think they did her justice in this fight either.

Gen vs. Howl! I'm so excited!
