he’s the teeth at the end of the night, aching for a good fight to carve his mark into. there’s none, however, for he’s not scheduled for the championship this round, ruefully perusing the match that goes down in the ring without batting an eye at the gore. blood spill is another name for the consistencies that he’s learned to live through, knowing that without it, everything will taste dull on the tip of his tongue. this event is... dubitable at best, held by a man previously mouthing filth about the gangs. suspicions arise, inevitably, but it isn’t like iseul to question anyone in regards to affiliations. he doesn’t know, doesn’t care. kings is only good for him when they provide him what he needs: the bout of violence, and everything in-between. the cheap thrills. he understands naught of the rivalry.
the fight is bland, however — men that do not know how to perform an uppercut correctly, hitting at all the whimsical spots without calculating anything. the impacts are far from lethal, skittish around the regulations that bind them. he refrains from molding his expression into an emotion, but he’s displeased. leaves the crowd after a while. he meanders his way across the talking bodies towards the bar, close to where the dancers and escorts are. it’s another night colored with humdrum, he thinks, until he sees a familiar face. he doesn’t rush through it, though, simply taking two shots of bourbon to warm himself a bit. when the other man is on the move, alone, he places the money bills on the bartop before chasing after the man surreptitiously. he cuts the man’s path midway. ❛ you’re here, too, ❜ he remarks casually, shoving his hands into his jeans’ pockets.
