Connor simply nods

Cruel Britannia Mon Feb 27, 2012 7:32 pm

Alex glances towards Connor and Natalie.

Alex: ..... It's nearly time.....

Pockets Mon Feb 27, 2012 7:35 pm

Natalie: Oh no no no... I am not choosing sides.

Alexis: Time?

Cruel Britannia Mon Feb 27, 2012 7:36 pm

Alex: To choose the next Legacy.

The door to the hotel suite opens and in walks Nicholas. His head is down and he seems to be going over some Hapkido and Judo footwork...

Nicholas: No...if he steps to the diagonal right, it should be....yeah, yeah, that's it. Don't shuffle the feet....move with a purpose....left, left, right, knee, counter their flailing into a grapple and....

....MOM DAD! I...um....

He shoves his gauze taped hands into his red hoodie pockets...

Nicholas: ...Alright...I messed up....I shouldn't have gone out....

He smirks from under the hood....

Nicholas: ....I won though...

Pockets Mon Feb 27, 2012 7:38 pm

Natalie: Kissass....

Alexis: Well, hello Nicholas. How nice of your to finally join us.

Cruel Britannia Mon Feb 27, 2012 7:41 pm

Alex: You boast about that Nicholas? You beat a bum in some dive nightclub. I'm very disappointed you would lower yourself to such behaviour son.

Jabberwocky Mon Feb 27, 2012 7:41 pm

Connor:"I'm not asking you to choose...But...I understand...Well I guess time will tell huh?"

he looks over at Nicholas, then back at his sister with an eyeroll

"Like I said...facade."

Cryonix Mon Feb 27, 2012 7:43 pm

Nicholas looks up at his dad...a small bit of anger flashing there...

Nicholas: You say that dad...and if I would have lost, I wouldn't be let in the house. So, I'm screwed either way....and if that's the case...I'm going to take the fight.

Pockets Mon Feb 27, 2012 7:45 pm

Natalie's eyes widen that anyone would talk back to their dad like that.

Cruel Britannia Mon Feb 27, 2012 7:49 pm

Alex: You could have not entered such a pathetic competition in the first place....

Alex fixes his gaze on Nicholas.

Jabberwocky Mon Feb 27, 2012 7:53 pm

Connor looks over at Natalie, glancing over at his brother and mumbling to himself

Connor:"Moron..."

Pockets Mon Feb 27, 2012 7:54 pm

Natalie: Looks like he might get in trouble anyway.

Cryonix Mon Feb 27, 2012 7:55 pm

Nicholas stares back...

Nicholas: ..........Fine. I'm sorry that the competition that I faced hasn't had the training mentally or physically that I've had. Not my fault, really not my problem...but I'll apologize for it anyway. I'm sorry that I got your willingness to fight ANYONE. It's who I am....at least this one was knocked out only....and I'm sorry that according to the rest of the world that's seen me fight....that I'm so good. I'm supposed to remain humble and all that....

....BUT I CAN'T! I'm an Edwards for a reason! I'm supposed to feel sorry for these...insects...that step in the ring....my ring....with me? I can't do it dad....I won't. They make the choice to step in the ring with me....then it's my duty...to show them how wrong that choice was.

Jabberwocky Mon Feb 27, 2012 8:00 pm

Connor looks in no particular direction

Connor:"Somebody needs to pull their head out of their ass..."

Cruel Britannia Mon Feb 27, 2012 8:04 pm

Alex: That isn't a ring..... that's a nightclub..... those men are not competitors..... they are not warriors.... they are pretenders, street brawlers.... is that what I trained you for Nicholas? Unliscenced brawls in puddles of alcohol.

They didn't step into your world.... you stepped into theirs.... you lowered yourself from being an elite athelete built as a paragon of honorable combat..... to a common thug.....

...what you did tonight...... brought DISGRACE to your name.

Pockets Mon Feb 27, 2012 8:06 pm

Natalie hisses softly through her teeth.

Natalie: Yep, he's in trouble. Next time Nick wants to go to an underground place I'll say no thanks.

Cryonix Mon Feb 27, 2012 8:07 pm

Nicholas growls....but doesn't look up....

Nicholas: .....................Apologies..................father.

Cruel Britannia Mon Feb 27, 2012 8:08 pm

Alex: You wish to challenge me......... boy?

Cryonix Mon Feb 27, 2012 8:10 pm

Nicholas: No father. ....I'm not the roof of a car.

Pockets Mon Feb 27, 2012 8:12 pm

Natalie runs into one of the suite bedrooms.

Natalie: Hey, Lizzie, stop pouting... you have to come out and see this! Nick just got himself in so much trouble!

She runs back out.

Jabberwocky Mon Feb 27, 2012 8:16 pm

Connor shakes his head and walks out on to the balcony with a sigh

Cruel Britannia Mon Feb 27, 2012 8:17 pm

Alex quite easily locks both of Nicholas arms behind his back and holds him completely off the ground with one arm.

Alex: .... and I'm not some punk with a pair of MMA gloves and an Affliction T-Shirt.

Pockets Mon Feb 27, 2012 8:20 pm

Alexis, not liking seeing her son get hurt, but knowing it necessary, walks back out on the balcony. She notices Connor.

Alexis: I hope you've learned something tonight.

Cryonix Mon Feb 27, 2012 8:21 pm

Nicholas is taken by surprise and relents....

Nicholas: Alright....alright. You're right. I'm sorry.
