[the_chosen_one]

This "feud" that Liam's got with Charley has manifested since the day he came in, before he even got chance to know her, so I think it's a definite "card" he's holding to help his cause where appropriate. He's kept it up his sleeve for some time now, but he played it tonight, and played it quite wisely, in that he withdrew from the argument before it got in full flow. It was a bit like someone dipping thier toe in water to test the temperature, Liam does fancy his chances with Charley in an argument, but I think he's biding his time and waiting for the right conditions before he goes to battle with the undisputed house champion. Give the boy credit, he's building up courage to take on the dragon, but if he doesnt play it right, he could fall like so many before him, which is likely to lose him support, considering his tentative approach to something which Charley puts no thought or preparation into whatsoever.
