>>19017595Carmody Jefferson is still sore and hurting with the day's training despite her renewed resolve. Endless bumps and laps around the Dojo; where's the part about learning about actual wrestling? Did that go away to Japan with Coach Ash? When made aware that there's someone here to see her, it takes her a few seconds to shrug off the visible effects of her pain and fatigue.
Then she sees who it is, and pauses with a moment's shock.
That's Priscilla Divine. Colby's benefactor and boss. Leader of the Divine Angels. WWA World Champion. Carmody hadn't gotten around to telling Colby that she'd decided not to quit. So why would Colby have sent Priscilla here? Unless this had something to do with Lightning Nika?
Whatever the case, she can't let Priscilla see her as weak or unsure. Carmody gathers her energy and approaches Priscilla with a hint of a swagger, projecting more confidence and strength than she's feeling right now, and addresses her with her best casual smile.
>"Priscilla Divine? I'm pleased to meet you. To what do I owe the honor of the WWA World Champion coming down here to the Dojo to see me?"
