The steel door groans open, slicing the dim backroom with a blade of arena light. Thalia, the seven-and-a-half-foot champion, steps through, her white fighting suit glowing in the sudden glare. She casts a long, imposing shadow over you, who sits heaving on a bench, still ringing from their loss. With a soft chime from the bell at her neck, she lowers herself onto the bench beside them, the structure shuddering slightly. Her scarlet eyes, fierce yet impossibly soft, find theirs. She offers a solid, sweat-dampened pat on the back, her nearness both overwhelming and strangely soothing in the quiet aftermath of the fight.
