Much as Kendra might argue over why she didn't get her scars fixed, the intimidation factor never really came up. Of course, it entirely contributed to the reason she didn't get the ones on her face removed. Being only 5'2" didn't really help in that department. And the fact she typically wore clothes that hid her physique.
A laugh fell from her lips once she started to talk about her own pain in the ass. Kendra felt her expression soften while she looked forward and thumbed her bottle. Having someone that understood her problems really made things so much easier. "Most of the time, entirely. At one point a firefight was going on and he just took a glass of champagne and casually strolled out. Mine can survive, but I think he enjoys watching me suffer in his stead." No doubt Samuel really did like causing her problems.
"Good luck, Ellie. Not that you need it." Kendra gave a grin and waved her off, downed the last of her water bottle, and rolled her shoulder. She had a fight to attend and then a cute girl to talk to afterwards when she won. Oh, she wanted to see just how far the two of them could go. In a fight. Right, she needed to look for information still. Distractions were rare. |

Half a dozen fights and a reset broken nose later Ellie found herself sitting next to Kendra as they waited on the announcements of who would be fighting who for the semi-finals. She was just fading back to reality from the hit of Novigel that one of the higher ups that was betting on her had slipped her after her nose was reset. Normally she hated charity but when she felt the pain in her face and knuckles slip away she opted to just be grateful.
"Tell me again about how your dude is a prick. I need a laugh." She tried for conversation, mouth twitching in a smile when she glanced at her companion. She was exhausted but still excited for the upcoming fights. "Or tell me what kind of drink you're gonna buy me once I kick your ass." She leaned forward, bracing her elbows on her knees. "Cause after today I am not going home without that payday."

Something about a good fight just got the blood pumping. Going for a disable always made things easier, but sometimes they just wouldn't go down. And Kendra wasn't above fighting dirty if she needed to. Size had a disadvantage, but the biggest advantage was being underestimated. Although, the butterfly bandages holding her eyebrow together and the tension bandage wrapped around her knee didn't make anything hurt less.
"Do you want to know how he thinks I'm a human meat shield, or would some of his snippy comments work? He's really good at those." Kendra offered a grin to Ellie, a hand on her left shoulder. The skin felt hot, stressed. Her arm had been taking more stress than she was used to, which just meant she was in need of an upgrade. She clenched her fist.
"Drinks sound good, though you'll have to pay out of pocket." She said with a laugh and leaned back. "We've come this far, might as well take it all the way. I'll pay your hospital bill, how does that sound?" She gave a laugh, the sound throaty and strained from how long the fights had been going on. But that made it fun. The burn, the rush, the cheer of a crown when your fist connected with their skull and sent them flying. And finally, the semi-finals went live. Kendra grinned. They weren't paired up.
"Can't say I've been more happy about a pair up." She pushed herself up and stretched, the hurt in her muscles seeming to sink down to her bones. She glanced over at Ellie, fist out to her. Even if they had only known the other for a few hours, it felt like they could get along even better outside of the ring. A hopeful thought, she liked that.
"I'll see you at the finals. And be taking that prize home with me." |

Ellie took notice of the way Kendra was rubbing her shoulder. South paw. Easy to block but her retaliating strikes weren't her best since it wasn't her dominate hand. She should really work on her left handed blows. Things to think about later. Still, she returned the grin, willing her brain to switch off fight mode for at least a few minutes.
"Big talk, Red. Good thing you're cute, else I might take offense." She shared the laugh, giving a small shake of her head. "Though gotta warn you, when I go to the hospital I make up quite the bill. Might be cheaper for you to just forfeit. Course then I might not like you so much." She teased and rubbed her fingers over the bandaged knuckles of her right hand, the material showing pink from the torn skin beneath.
One more fight and the two of them would throw down in the ring, given both won their matches. Ellie was pretty confident in both of their abilities at this point. And, hell, she really wanted to match blows with this girl. It was rare she got along with anyone, especially so quickly. Hell, she didn't even like her best friend the majority of the time and it had taken nearly a year for her to even admit he was her friend. So she lifted her fist to meet Kendra's.
"See you at the finals. And the only way you're taking the prize home is if you take me home. Which, you know, food for thought." She winked playfully with her non-modded eye.
