c o m i n g to the fighting pits hasn’t been that hard of a journey. lux tried her best to be as inconspicuous as possible but in a place filled with thugs and criminals, not attracting attention as a civilized young girl is rather impossible it seems. yet, she tries her best not to stand out, none of her clothes would lead back to her demacian origin, she even bought a sword along that she has bought in ionia. she hopes that this ❛ disguise ❜ would be enough to prevent any curious eyes but caution is the best option she has.
it is a rather grotesque sight to watch, these people hurting, even killing each other in these pits. she is no stranger to death but hearing cheers to someone getting torn to pieces is something she does not see enjoyable. but as soon as this man the call ❛ the boss ❜ steps in the pit, she can’t avert her eyes. all of these participants have been more beast than human && then there’s this person, actually looking like a beast. a rather unusual sight but not displeasing to the eye. she has not seen many vastayan before and although at first glance he doesn’t look as frightening, his actions speak for himself ; it is clear now why he is called boss.
she is unsure if she should actually approach him. but she has come here to get information and maybe this man would actually have something she needs. although she knows how to sneak into places, it is hard to find him in this crowd, especially since she doesn’t know where his changing room or office or whatever is. it takes a while to get around unnoticed and once she reaches where she has seen him enter, she impatiently knocks on his door, eager to get out of sight from any more stinking thugs. not even waiting for his answer, she steps inside, lifting her hood to reveal herself, a shy smile on her lips ; she better act the part when she is about to lie.
❝ hello , se — sir ! i’m . . . uh — a big fan ! ❞ lux stutters nervously, damn her acting used to be better. but he is rather tall and from what she’s seen before, incredibly strong. ❝ would you mind sparing some of your time for me ? i would looove to talk with you. you’re amazing ! ❞ urgh, she feels so idiotic speaking like this but it is what usually works in these situations.
