>>20018775Maria took a slow sip from her drink before she was adressed, taking a good look at the woman in front of her before letting out a chuckle.
>"You look fine for a woman that's supposed to be dead, Noire..."Maria chuckled before pointing at her own eyes.
>"Different colors hun, but don't worry, your secret is safe with me. Besides, you're not the only one who's supposed to be kicking up daisies."A small nod to her own surgery as she ran a hand through her still growing hair, it was slowly getting back up to the length that she wanted it to be.
Maria nodded politely at Akane as she approached.
>"Miss Watanabe, a pleasure to meet you, I've heard good things about you down the grapevine.">>20026933Maria gave a polite little nod towards Colby as she approached, clinking her glass with the Divine Angel.
>"Please, it's off hours, it's just Maria, hun. And I suppose I haven't been around for a while huh."She chuckles, thinking back to the ladder match, it had been a fine match to top off her IC title reign, a wistful little sigh coming from the back of her throat.
>"But yes, I'm back, took time off to rest and recover after my surgery. I should be ready to be in the ring again in not too long. Shame I missed Waifus Collide 2, but it is what it is no?">>20034914>>20034989Again Maria chuckled in her glass as she heard Oni and Noire quibble with one another about the Dojo.
>"Come now Noire, Onigiri is allowed to have her oppinion, even if it's wrong. The Dojo is supposed to have a good turn-around of people coming in and leaving. After all, the goal for the graduees is to be able to stand on their own feet after they leave. If they stay forever, that means they're not ready and stagnating, which means they're probably not meant for this business."Maria took a sip from her drink, looking perhaps a bit smug towards Oni.
>"But do tell me how many graduates your little program has darling."
