Summary: Seth takes Astarte on his promised visit to see Kali

It had taken some time, but finally Seth had the time to make good on his promise to return to see Ciara in Vegas. Tara, also invited, sat in the seat to his left. The plane was privately owned so they wouldn't have to worry about formalities. Tyler sat quietly in the back, making sure everything was in order.

Tylr gave a polite nod.

"Tell me about it," Aldo started. "We decided to cut the middlemen and took one of the company planes." He smiles at Ciara, almost warmly. "It's good to see you." He composes himself. "Let me formally introduce Tara Davidson. Tara, this is Ciara Talbot, toughest fighter to hit the circuit in years."

"Nice to meetcha."

[blackdestroyer.insanejournal.com]

"Yeah, we talked once. Some shit like that," Ciara said nodding. "You're cuter in person."

"So, then, y'all got the tix I reserved for you?"

[chaos-embodied.insanejournal.com]

He fights the urge to smirk about the "cute" comment. He removes the tickets from his shirt. "Right here,"

[blackdestroyer.insanejournal.com]

"Good. I was afraid I was gonna have to bust some heads otherwise. Can't trust the motherfucking agents, y'know," she said. "Best seats in the house, y'all. I'll try not to get too much blood on you."

[chaos-embodied.insanejournal.com]

"That's okay, Ciara. I'm not unaccustomed to having blood on me. Still, thank you," he looks over at Tara briefly, noting her sudden change in behavior.

[littlebithorny.insanejournal.com]

"Aw, thanks." Tara smiles. "I haven't been bled on in ages. Hope you have a good time at work."

It's just courtesy, Tara figures, not to hang all over him in front of his friend with benefits.

"Babycakes, I get to beat the shit out of people for a living. How is it not a good time?" Ciara laughed. "Y'all lookin' forward to this? Maybe I'll see if I can't get y'all some souvenir teeth after I knock 'em out of Li'l Miss Hotshot's fucking mouth."

[chaos-embodied.insanejournal.com]

"I can't argue with that," he says with a smile. "Oh? That'd be an interesting thing to take home."

[littlebithorny.insanejournal.com]

"Okay, now I need to stop thinking of the physics of projectile teeth."

[blackdestroyer.insanejournal.com]

"Aww, they don't fly that far," Ciara said, "But, I gotta go finish getting ready. See y'all from the ring next." She waved and headed off to the prep area.

When Ciara goes back, Seth moves over to Tara, arm back around her shoulders. "First impressions?"

[littlebithorny.insanejournal.com]

"I stand behind my previous assertion: I like her."

[chaos-embodied.insanejournal.com]

"You wanna get anything to drink?"

[littlebithorny.insanejournal.com]

"I'm in the mood for an Abita if they sell it here. If not, I'll just go for ginger ale. I don't like to settle for the second-rate stuff, you know"

[chaos-embodied.insanejournal.com]

He smiles fondly. "You never did settle for second-best."

[littlebithorny.insanejournal.com]

"Something we occasionally have in common."

[chaos-embodied.insanejournal.com]

"C'mon, let's get those drinks. They're on me."

Tyler gave a brightened smile before following the boss and his girlfriend in.

The match soon began, and Ciara strutted into the ring with a fierce pride. She winked at her friends prior to the clang of the bell.

Her perfomance was magnificent, like very violent poetry in motion, and she managed to knock out exactly three teeth from her opponent, that she made sure her manager picked up.

"Damn," Tyler said after the fight. "Remind me never to piss her off."

"I'll make a note of it," Seth smiled, applauding.

[littlebithorny.insanejournal.com]

Tara watches with interest. "You know, the dance degree makes perfect sense."

[chaos-embodied.insanejournal.com]

"You should see her dance. It's a thing of beauty."

[blackdestroyer.insanejournal.com]

The fight ended with an easy TKO, and Ciara was radiant with her glory when she left the ring.

"I saved teeth for y'all," she announced upon meeting back up with her friends.

[chaos-embodied.insanejournal.com]

"A thing of beauty, Ciara, really."

"Damn," Tyler said shaking his head. "The way they was hyping this fight on commercials I thought she'd last a little longer."

[littlebithorny.insanejournal.com]

"That's awesome!" Tara says. "Aw, Boss, do you remember Anat's hand collection?"
