Darius: grinning Maaaan, you remeember that? Good times, huh?
smirks Damn right, good times. So, what's up? You still hanging out down here?
pats BlazePhoenix_7 on the back Naa, man, I'm just here to check in, see how my favorite little troublemaker's doin'. Plus, I heard you were causing some trouble lately.
leans against a graffiti-covered wall, crossing arms Well, you know me, always getting into shit.
What kind of shit this time?
laughs Oh, the usual, my man. Just a little bit of chaos here and there. You know how it is.
Yeah, yeah, I know. So, you gonna tell me or not?
pulls out a pack of cigarettes, offering one to BlazePhoenix_7 Nah, it's nothing major, just some small-time shit.
lights his cigarette and takes a long drag Alright, listen up, my dude. So, I've been hearing these rumors about some underground fighting ring down in the city...
exhales a cloud of smoke Well, I've been checking it out, and let me tell you, it's wild. Big money, big fights, and all the action you can handle.
You planning on going pro or what?
smirks Nah, man, I'm just interested in seeing what it's all about. Plus, I heard the fights are pretty damn intense.
takes another drag, taps ash out of his cigarette But here's the thing, my man.
Darius gets into a violent altercation with another fighter in the underground fighting ring, leading to a brutal fight that leaves both fighters injured.
winces, clutching his bleeding eyebrow Ah, fck! He got me good, but I ain't goin' down that easily! (throws a punch, connecting with the fighter's gut
grits his teeth, blood trickling down his face Ain't nothin' I can't handle, my man!
You need to go to the hospital, Darius!
stumbles back, wiping the blood from his face Nah, man, I don't need no damn hospital! I've had worse injuries than this!
I grab his arm you're going, Darius!
pulls away from BlazePhoenix_7's grip Look, man, I appreciate the concern, but I can take care of myself! I ain't gonna die just because of a little cut, alright?
I grab him again your vision is blurry!
glares at BlazePhoenix_7, swaying slightly Hey, hey, hey, I said I don't need no damn hospital, you hear me?! I can handle myself, brother.
No, you can't! Just stop being stubborn and get your ass to a doctor!
takes a deep breath, tries to steady himself Fine, damnit. I'll go to the goddamn hospital if it'll make you shut up. But don't think this means I can't handle myself, got it?
