Jacob watched the power exchange over the rim of his glass and from his periphery as he watched the screens above them flickering with bets and clips and various other means of spending his well earned cash. Rather someone else's since it wasn't his.
The woman left was closer to Nox. The Mavreet lad probably just a guy he met, from what he read neither of these two traveled the same circles, except she was his boss.
Jacob thought about following the men deeper into the arena, but decided to approach the stern and scathing woman who looked like she could chew off his head any moment. Be she Black Widow or Praying Mantis, wasn't his first time in the rodeo. He ordered himself another vodka before standing closer staring up at the screens above them. He smiled without taking his eyes off the screen. Images of the viral fight recapped. Then with little segue like the two might meet some way or another there was a match, the combatants were not listed, it flicked from 3 to 5 to 2 with question marks. Even they didn't know if Nox were going to show. He wasn't listed on any of the ballots so his only option would be this mystery battle royal. "Should be interesting. If he even shows up."
Jacob wasn't talking to anyone in particular. But he said it loud enough the woman could hear, should she be interested in asking. If not he'd meander his way away from her. He took a flyer from his pocket and glanced at the image of Nox on stage before his last performance and then back up at the screen. "Might get a chance to meet him."
