Game-Changers & Grudge Matches

"I believe you've already done enough damage to yourself to be worried about anyone helping," Noctis said.

--

Gabe nodded, "Same here. I think I may be more set on Noctis because she is my sponsor, but yea, definitely voting for those three."

*Tirea shrugs*

<Not the asshole, that's for sure.>

Astarte just shrugged, too, continuing her Healing.

"Thank you."

Franz<Spare me the feigned ignorance. We all know that the pair of you are nowhere near innocent.>
================================
R"You doing okay, Ven?"

V"My left leg hurts."

<Is there anything I can do to help? I'm no healer....>

"Now I believe it is my turn to say, 'I have no idea what you're talking about'," Noct said, "I hope you don't mind my lack of a fan."

--

"There might be some medical person we can take you to, like, a sports doctor," Gabe said.

V"I just need to get home...I hope I didn't disappoint Noctis...."
===================================
Franz<I'll get you for this.>

*He turns to stomp off to the lift, hands balled into fists. Keter folds up her fan & holds it out to Noctis.*

Keter<Take it as a memento.>

<How could you have? We keep saying you did amazing.>

"I'm sure she'll be just as proud of you as we are," Gabe said.

--

"Why thank you," Noct said taking the fan, "I'll treasure it, but perhaps I could have another chance at a memento. Are you free this evening?"

<Free to do what? In any case, it will have to be another day.>
================================
"Proud of me? For what? I don't understand...what have I done for her?"

<You did your best.>

*Tirea hugs Ven*

"I had hoped to praise your performance tonight with dinner and drinks, perhaps," Noct said, "But I suppose I'll have to take a rain check."

--

"You performed admirably on her team," Gabe said, "She is our sponsor, so she should be proud when we win."

OOC: Sorry, my kindle died.

*Tirea nods*

<We couldn't have done it without you!>

Astarte smiled a little at the encouragements of the others, and while Healing she quietly added, "I couldn't have gone out there round after round, let alone helped like you did. I think you're cool."

<One of my cards is in the fan. Use it when you want to call out to me.>
===================================
V"...Thank you. All of you."

"I'll be sure to," Noct said, "Have a pleasant evening."

--

"Don't mention it," Gabe said.

Astarte continued her Healing.

*Keter heads for the lift on the side formerly belonging to the Mongoose Lizards.*
==============================
"Hey, do you guys, like, want anything? The snack stand might be open for a little while yet."

"I'm not hungry," Gabe said.

--

Noct headed for the other lift, hoping to meet up with Ven once she got down there.

"I'm fine," Astarte shook her head, but then looked to Ven. "What about you, Ven? You must have worked up an appetite. Or at least a thirst."

V"I am really thirsty. I could go for a soda."

*Suddenly, Noctis.*

"Great effort out there today, Ven," Noct said, "To all of you as well. It is good to see you Roatha, and Astarte."

"Oh, hello, Noctis," Gabe said, "You did great in the debate as well."

Astarte gave a little wave to Noctis.

*Ven tears up a little, but wipes it away. Roatha heads out to get her a drink.*

<Thank you...yes, I am led to believe that you were much nicer than that other guy, whatever he did.>

*Tirea gives Noctis an air hug*

<HI!>
