Battle! [day four morning!]

Suzaku Kururugi vs. Zoro Roronoa

Weapons: Shoryu and Elizabeθ Buckley
Location: Gym
Time of day: Morning

He had lost, lost to Gino and therefore lost Huashi. Gino had refused to transfer her back, which seemed to infuriate the girl no end and meant that Suzaku had to try and win her back off Gino as well as Nunnally.

But getting back Nunnally was the main aim, before Gino got desperate or bored and used her weapon. A lot of people would get hurt if he did and as the days went on Suzaku was getting more and more worried.

To add to his worries Lelouch was still adamant about fighting Gino, despite the fact that Suzaku hadn't been able to beat the taller (and now older) knight. Still Suzaku shook the thoughts out of his head and concentrated on the here and now. He needed to try and win another weapon, though if he used Theta's weapon it meant he could fight unarmed.

But he would still feel better if he had another weapon as well, to fall back on and that meant attempting to beat this man, Zoro. He waited silently for him to appear.

When Theta heard the rustle of fabric, she glanced back at Zoro, and was relieved to find he'd gotten himself decent again. It had nothing to do with sex, and everything to do with the fact that her society didn't particularly approve of nudity. For anyone. She listened to his challenge, and immediately nodded.

"Sherlock Holmes. I don't know what it is you want me to do, but I'll support you in fighting him." She didn't read his words as particularly arrogant, but rather she supposed he was a lot like her. How were those who had great skills meant to act, after all? Lie about it out of some false sense of modesty? No, she thought those that were simply boasting reeked far more of desperation than he did.

"Hmmm," Zoro grunted simply. 'Sherlock Holmes' - maybe he'd only just seen that name when all of the week's Players were announced, but something about it seemed otherwise familiar. Unable to immediately place a finger on its significance, Zoro simply shrugged, then gave Theta a nod.

"Fine. I'll fight him as soon as he's ready," he said. "Ehh, but maybe one of you can help me with that; those...er...campters? - conporters? - the things with the little letter buttons - I'm not so used to them."

Now that the towel was no longer needed to cover his shoulders, Zoro used it to dab away a bit of sweat from around his brow and temples, then politely deposited it in a provided hamper near the room's door.

"Well, I'm done here. I think it's about time for lunch, too...Romeo-kun, you hungry?" he asked, heading for the door. He stopped short, though, and looked back to Theta. "And...well...you too. If you want to."

Romeo grinned as well, though he was a little worried that his two friends were going to fight each other. Still he was happy that Zoro and Miss Buckley had finally came to an agreement. He would have offered to use the comutes, or whatever they were called but they were strange. Strange even than the mirrors that talked or the booths were you bought things from.

Lunch! Romeo was hungry, he was hungry most of the time though he was eating more than he had ever eaten in his life before. "I'm coming boss!"

When Zoro extended the invitation to Miss Buckley Romeo was surprised. Not that he had invited her but that there had ever been any question of her not joining them. She was their friend now. "Do you want to sir?"

Theta frowned at that request, shaking her head. "I could have a look at one of them, but we don't have anything like them in my world. I couldn't promise anything." Still, she followed along as they headed out of the gym, walking quite a bit more slowly than she had initially. Yes, lunch was a good excuse to sit down, and goodness knows she needed to sit now.

"I'll come along to lunch, yes, yes." She turned her attention to Zoro and cleared her throat. "It's Elizabeθ Buckley, and your name was Zoro?" She'd heard his name, but she wasn't sure if he'd heard hers. Better to check and confirm and be polite, if they were to work together.

"Good. Maybe we can talk things over," Zoro replied, once Theta had agreed to join them. Hopefully, he thought, she wouldn't be off-put by his usual silent demeanor at a meal.

"Ms. Buckley. Right." Calling her by her first name so soon just didn't feel right, especially since she seemed so hesitant to work with him in the first place. As they walked, he glanced at her from over his shoulder, offering her something halfway between a scowl and a smile. "Zoro Roronoa. Pleased to meet you, after the fact."
