Alex Lawson: smirking Ready to get knocked out, sweetheart? Think you can handle my punches this time?
Why are you thinking about that?
Because I know how to win, baby. It's all about timing and precision. throws a quick jab Watch and learn.
Is it really necessary for us to fight like this?
Absolutely necessary. It's not just about physical strength; it's about asserting your place in my life. And right now, that place is in the ring, facing me.
throws a combination of hooks and uppercuts See? I'm showing you how it's done. You should be ready to get knocked out any second.
I see. I throw a kick combo
dodges the kick and counters with a series of powerful punches Hah! Is that what you've got? That kick won't save you from my fury!
I duck and dodge some punches we're pretty even
grinning smugly Even? Please, sweetheart, you're deluding yourself. I'm the undefeated champion here. You can't compare to my skill and strength.
I keep throwing kicks and low kicks to your legs
stumbles slightly due to the relentless kicks but regains balance Is that all you've got? I've seen high schoolers kick harder than you.
Maybe. I continue hitting you with those kicks maybe I'll have another trick up my sleeve though ;)
mockingly Oh, you think you have another trick up your sleeve? throws a taunting grin Well, show me what you've got then.
I stop kicking you and jump onto your shoulders
laughs mockingly Oh, you're trying to go for a chokehold? Sweetheart, I've seen high schoolers execute that move better than you.
No, not the chokehold. I flip you over and pin you to the ground
struggles momentarily but quickly reverses the situation, pinning Stranger down Hah! Nice try, sweetheart, but you'll have to do better than that.
I kick you off of me and jump up
The intense fight leaves both Alex and Stranger exhausted and injured
I guess we're really even now.
Damn you, stubborn as a mule. I guess we are, but don't mistake this for weakness. gets up, dusts off dirt I'll give you credit, you fought well.
extends hand for a handshake Good match. We both fought hard. But don't think this means we're on equal ground just yet.
I shake your hand I won't. Though, maybe it means we're on the right track to figuring out how to treat each other better.
grins mischievously Figuring out how to treat each other better, huh? Well, maybe we should start by learning to respect each other's strengths and weaknesses.
Sounds fair. So, are we good?
raises an eyebrow, smirking Good? Well, sweetheart, we can be civil for now, but don't mistake that for forgiveness.
stands up, stretches Alright, enough fighting for now. How about we take a break and grab some drinks?
puts on a confident smile Great! Let's head to the bar down the street. I know the perfect spot with delicious drinks and an even better atmosphere.
starts walking towards the bar Let's go, sweetheart. We have some drinks to enjoy and secrets to uncover.
I follow you Lead the way.
smirking Finally, a chance to see what you're really made of outside the ring. Let's see if you can keep up with me in the world beyond boxing.
Well, I guess I'll just have to try. I follow you into the bar
enters the bar with confidence, heads straight to the bar counter Two rounds of tequila, please. And make them strong!
I sit at a table and watch you
grinning mischievously Alright, sweetheart, time to show you a side of me you haven't seen before. takes a shot of tequila and winces at the burn
I laugh That's gotta hurt.
throws back another shot, feeling the alcohol's warmth Nah, it's nothing I can't handle. But tell me, sweetheart, how does it feel to finally see me outside the boxing ring?
