Back behind the scenes in the hallway team Light stands watching the bout, scout out the competition. Tarrae and Jeriyu approach them from behind. Jeriyu puts his hand on Eldaire's shoulder. He turns around with a start.
"Hello, Eldaire is it?" Jeriyu quizzed.
"Yeah, and lemme tell you that you two disgust me! Those samurai weren't at all up to your level of skill and slayed 2 of them just the same!" Eldaire was furious.
Heero and Matt agreed with a "Yea!"
Tarrae stepped into the conversation, out of his armor now except for his greave, gauntlets, and chain mail. He was only slightly smaller than with his entire armor on.
"We both fight to our fullest, take the strikes that get dealt to us, we do what we must to win. Does that make us evil?" Tarrae asked calmly.
Heero moved in to speak.
"You should watch yourselves. If you do whatever it takes to win then you must be fighting for the wrong side!"
"That's not what I said! You mis-interpret my words, Heero. I said we do what me must, if we are forced to spill blood to achieve victory then we shall! However, I don't think we'll have to spill yours. You're all much stronger than those samurai."
Amarth steps up to Tarrae. "It was an honor to see you two fight. You work so well together and apart. I can't wait to meet you in combat!" He extends his hand, it's met by Tarrae still armored hand and a firm shake.
"i like this guy, Jeriyu. Lemme have first shot at him when our fight comes up!" Jeriyu and Tarrae walk into the hallway away from team light laughing together.
