Perhaps. [Narvin isn't wholly against a little bit of rule breaking. But only when breaking the rules is permitted within the rules. The CIA can legally break the law, but he gets huffy when anyone else does it.]

There's something to be said for plausible deniability when something needs to be done and the people in official authority can't be seen to do it. But there's a difference between that and vigilantism. And I'm not entirely sure where Cardinal Braxiatel fell on that divide. Or whether his agenda was really to benefit Gallifrey or his own ambition. He was a difficult man to understand.

[Narvin would have had harsher words for Brax in the past, but now? Now he thinks that Brax is dead, fallen into the void between universes. It has taken all the joy out of the rivalry.]
