Julien was at the Challenge, but he hadn't moved down to speak to Eileen after it was over. Had in fact, done whatever necessary to make his presence as little-felt as he could. It was entirely possible that the only person there particularly aware of the Spade's presence was Elisha.

But his appearance the next day likely isn't much of a surprise. "He pricked you, didn't he?"

Congratulations on the win are implicit. He's here, isn't he?
