The City's Dark Jewel
#35
Ivan laughed at the victory. She had come to him. These women always thought they were in control. He was sure that if he had gone to her, she would have considered that proof of something. Power games. They were dumb, but so was life.

She slid between them, calling the bartender. "Glad you accepted our invite," he said with a hint of sarcasm. He got a closer look at her too and could see the healing cuts on her arms, They weren't sticks. Good muscle tone. Yeah, she was a fighter. And he had no issues fighting a woman. This was the 21st century. Equal rights and all that. Mixed UFC fighting was a thing. So yeah, as long as it was fair. Whiiiiiich he doubted would be the case with her. Not after that night. Still, how badly would he beat her, that would be the question he'd have to decide.

This was the Almaz, after all. No refs or rules, you know? Not like he'd keep pounding her bloody. Course that smirk on her face did ask for....something.

He looked at her, grin of excitement on his face, before standing up. Cheap rentals were not tailored. While he was a big guy at 6'2 and a solid 210 the material had that cheap billowiness about it. Like a t-shirt that had been worn too often. He doubted they thought him a threat, the way he was dressed.

And that was a good thing. He loved being underestimated. The other guy- quiet one, though he guessed Ori probably kinda did that to people- Kasun, was about the same build and height, mass of tangled black hair. Something about his eyes made Ivan pause. Not the color. People wore all kinds of contacts. He'd seen devil eyes, snake eyes, cat eyes. Some had their eyeballs tattooed too, or tinted black or red. No, it was something else. A wildness there. Like a dog he'd found in an alley back when he was on the beat. All feral and stuff.

And Ivan felt a powerful thread of excitement in his chest. Just like when he was channeling. Exactly. It wasn't the alcohol. No. It was the realization that finally, finally, tonight he was gonna pound the livign shit out of someone real good. That he could let go completely. He couldn't have known that his own eyes were showing the exact same animal look.

He shot a chin at Ryker, a wink at Ori. "See you in a bit, sweetheart." He could tell it was a favored term of hers. He liked it. It was his now. He clapped Kasun on the shoulder and the man flinched, turned on him with anger. Ivan just glared back, standing firm. He did smile insolently, though."Hah ha! Save it for the pit, buddy. Lead the way."

The man shook his shaggy head after a moment and then gestured for him to follow. With each step Ivan's gaze hardened and his jaws clenched with anticipation.

This wasn't UFC. No logos on the mats or on his or Kasun's shorts. No sponsors here. Just two people who wanted to beat each other to a bloody pulp while overhead people watched. He looked up then, massive lights making a suns in the middle of a night sky. He smiled, twisted his neck this way and that, squeezed his shoulders together until he heard multiple cracks.

He readied himself and looked at Kasun across the way. The man was all hairy and muscled but he just stood there, staring at him, as if he were prey. Haha! Yeah. He looked hungry, just watching, muscles a little tense, as if ready to run at him.

Ivan laughed and positioned himself.

This was gonna be fucking fun.
