>>9715409>The pin is counted. 1. 2. 3! Neith is the winner of their match. After a moment, Riley slowly collects herself and stands up. She is tired and exhausted after their intense bout. Her dreams of winning the Rookie Cup bashed. How could she lose in the opening round? she ponders to herself with a flare of anger and disappointment on her face. She listens as Neith begins to speak. Riley's tempest of emotions simmers down a bit upon hearing Neith's compliments. She scrambles quickly to think of an excuse to cover her shortcomings.Ye got lucky!! That crosseyed scallywag ref can't be trusted, the ring ropes so old they gave way and the.. and the.. ah forget it!
>Riley gives up trying to bullshit her way out of this one. She walks over to her corner of the ring. She grabs Neith's necklace from the corner ring post where she had placed before their match went underway. She returns to Neith and suddenly juts her hand out forward. She opens her fist to reveal Neith's necklace, offering it to her. She feels awkward and embarrassed as she holds the necklace out in front of her, like a child caught red handed and scolded by their parents.Fine! ..Take your loot!
>Riley suddenly reflects on Neith's recent proposition.What were ye saying about getting something out of this and making a name for me self?
