"Keep up a pounding of that nature and you won't make it to the third round," She shouted her Spanish accent returning as she began to loser her cool. She glanced over at Mario to see how he was doing. About to shout that if he clobbered Avi he was fired and realized that wasn't fair to him.

" Wait. Wait a minute." Beth called after Tom. To the point that she grabbed the back of his chair to hold him up. " I didn't mean it to drive you off. come back outside so I can hear you over the crowd."
The bell rang to start the next round before Avi could reply. He turned, touched gloves with his partner and they returned to the action. The dance card had switched, and Mario slowly stalked around Ryne while Desolation charged right in at Avi, slamming him up against the side, much to the croeds delight.
Lon continued to speak despite not getting replies. " Ah, so you two are friends with the guest fighters?"

Tom tries to suppress his annoyance at his chair being grabbed (note that it has no handles on the back). "Alright." As he wheels back.

Alice blinks in surprise as Lon seemed to know that she had attempted to read his thoughts. She stammers, trying to think of how she would explain her actions, but simply nods and says quietly. "Yeah, they're friends of ours."

" I hope you don't have much money bet on them." Lon chuckled. " They don't have much of a chance."
In the ring, somehow Mario seemed to be getting the better of Ryne. The big man was slower than he had been, and Mario was capitalizing. so much that Ryne dropped to one knee momentarily after an upper cut. Avi on the otherhand, was fairing much better against Jones, and had turned the tackle into some sort of clench on the mat that gave him an advantage.
" there's too much racket in there." Beth explained. " I have to wait until we get back to the city, but you have to understand I'm putting everything at risk here. Besides, what will you do with that information anyways. Just who are you?"

Tom smiles widely. "A friend."

Alice shrugs as she watches Avi. "You never know. They just might surprise you."

" I highly doubt it." Lon replied smugly. " Our host doesn't like leaving things to chance too often, so he tends to arrange things to happen." Another punch rocked Ryne, though Avi seemed to be getting the better of Jones.
" Uh huh." Beth replied, not completely convinced. " I'm afraid I'll need more than a friend. At least a name and way to contact you."

Alice looks confused as she asks, "What do you mean by that?" She doesn't really expect him to answer, but figured it never hurt to ask. Lon seemed to appreciate honesty. Of course, she could be wrong.

"Ah, you're asking me for my number? I thought this was supposed to go the other way around." Tom bats his eyes. "My name is Tom, and here's my number." He takes out a pad of paper and writes it down.

" guys are the same no matter where you go." Beth mock complained, grinning as she took the note, then produced a business card and offered it. " does this make you feel better? My cell number is on the back. I'll call you in a day or two if that's okay? Unless you have to be all chivalric and call me." she laughed.
" Well look for yourself." Lon suggested, motioning to the ring. " I seem to recall your larger friend was unstoppable in the first round. Now he looks like a staggering drunk to me. Good thing he can take a punch. " With that, Mario rocked Ryne again, but the big man wouldn't go down.

Watching the fight Sasha stands up and moves to the Mario's side of the ring awaiting the bell. It was unlikely she'd be able to really talk to Mario between the rounds but she had to try to get closer. Throwing Alice a look she simply nods hoping she catches what she's going to do.

Tom smiles as he takes the card. "Thanks. And call me when you're ready." as Tom spins around and wheels back inside.

Alice nods at Lon, acknowledging his point, but still shrugs. "Perhaps. But perhaps he may surprise you in the end." She glances over at Sasha, not entirely sure what she was doing, but makes no move to stop her either.

" I highly doubt it. Greed lives up to his name, and he doesn't do things unless he'll profit from them. " Lon replied, his attention more on Beth and Tom than the ring.
In a flurry, the referee was pulling Avi off of Jones, whose arm was twisted behind his head at an impossible angle. The crowd roared it's approval. seperating them, the ref moved to pull Ryne and Mario apart. As he did, a right cross caught Ryne's chin and only because of the ref did he stay up. The ref called for the bell and pointed Avi and Mario to their corners while Ryne and Desolation were helped from the ring. Mario looked at Sasha," what are you doing here?"
" It will be a day or two. I need time to copy it and sneak it away." Beth said as Tom left her alone
