A show of Gratitude: Oscar Orelash and Katrina Kelly

[MappleMan7]

"Oh come on, being brave doesn't mean expecting fake bushes to jump scare people! That doesn't count"

He joked back with a snicker, seeming happy as Katrina leaned more on his arm

"End goals? Well... hmm"

Oscar went quiet as he took a second to think

"I don't know. Being a heavyweight champion sounds... amazing, really, but I haven't thought that far yet"

He hummed as he looked down at Katrina

"I want to take baby steps for now- find my footing first before making any big jumps, you know? Right now I know I want to work on my skills so I can work towards graduating from the young lions and get put on the roster. The other thing is to, well... be an inspiration. Someone people look up to and feel encouraged to take bigger steps for themselves"

Oscar would look a tad emotional as he opened up to the young ninja, a smile staying on his face

"It was people like that who inspired me to wrestle myself after all"

[SimplyWoo]

"You know you are already doing that right?" She mentioned as she twisted around to be in front of him, letting go of his arm as she cupped her hands behind her own back as she was walking backwards as Oscar walked forward. "The camera was on you while Tina was in the ring. I seen the few high fives you received. Those are already people being inspired by you, as well as those who gave you applause.. So all I can say is keep doing what you're doing, which is a good job." She mentioned as she turned back around to join Oscar's side again. "Ooo, I think we're almost there, can you smell it? We'll need to eat on their patio since there's no dress code for outside. She giggled, having opted not to change while leaving the gym.

[MappleMan7]

Everything around Oscar didn't really seem to matter anymore as he Katrina stepped in front of him, backward walking as she spoke. He listened as if the sounds of the city, the chatter of other people, and the tweeting of birds simply didn't exist. All focus was on the ninja. He just had the warmest of smiles on his face as he nodded in understanding

"Thank you. I'm... a very lucky guy to have met you two. That's something I'm certain of and I absolutely will keep it up"

When Katrina would return to his side, he would gently try to hold her hand as he sniffed the air

"Mmm... yeah, Patio sounds nice. Certainly the weather for it"

[SimplyWoo]

As Oscar took her hand, she blushed as she squeezed his hand as she brought her free hand up to the side of her face before having to look away from Oscar and fan herself before she looked back ahead. "So, what toppings do you like on your pizza?" She asked as they arrived at the entrance of the patio and she smiled as they approached the host that was outside as she bowed at the host. "Hello, table for two please." She mentioned as the host led them to their table.

[MappleMan7]

"Um... oh man it's a lot"

He'd chuckle as he was led to the patio with Katrina

"I'd have to say pepperoni, bacon bits, and ground beef have to be the top three for me- but ah, I'm feeling rude. Here you are getting to know me but I haven't asked you a single question"

He'd lower his head in an apologetic manner

"So how about this- what made you want to wrestle? I'd love to hear the story"

[SimplyWoo]

As they were taken to their seats, Katrina pulled her small purse, cigarette pack, and lighter from her pocket to set on the table as she took a seat, crossing one leg over top of the other slowly as she then adjusted the sleeves of the sweater tied around her waist so they would drape down her legs. She went ahead and pulled out a cigarette from the pack, which was a More 120, which was a longer brown colored cigarette as she just held it in her fingertips. "Honestly, my sister inspired me to give it a try. I wanted to do more then be a cosplay model and I thought it would be interesting if I would take cosplaying to the next level. I mean, would you rather just see pics of Chun-Li online, or would you rather see her in action? She then blushed slightly, "Then again, I have yet to wrestle as anybody other than myself yet. I should probably work on that." She mentioned with a chuckle. "But yeah, I wasn't always a fan of wrestling, but watching my sister and trying to support her, and hearing the crowds cheer for her and her interaction with the fans, I was like, damn, that looks like fun. To which, now that I've done it, it absolutely is." When the waitress came around asking what they would like to drink, Katrina opened up her purse and pulled out her id to show to the waitress. "I'll take a Guinness please, thank you."

[MappleMan7]

"Cosplay?"

Oscar seemed a bit surprised at the mention of it

"That's so cool! Ah, man. That reminds me of some of the conventions I visited back home"

He sighed at the happy memory as he listened along and nodded his head

"Y'know... I'm actually working to save up money to get a proper set of ring gear. The shorts and everything- it's nice, but to be a barbarian I still need to work on looking like one. I know what I want it to look like and I also need to get more tattoos on my torso to complete the look. All stuff I actually need to do before I can graduate from the young lions"

He smiled as he listened to Katrina gush about Tina before taking out his own ID

"She sounds like a great sister to have. And ah, I'll have a Guinness as well please"

[SimplyWoo]

As the waitress leaved to take their drinks, Katrina grabbed her lighter and flicked it a few times, only just creating sparks as she then shook the lighter, realizing it was empty and just set the lighter back down, but still kept the cigarette in her fingertips as she liked posing with it as she leaned against the table, one arm crossing onto the table as her breasts rested on top of her arm and the hand holding the cigarette was now cupped against the side of her cheek as she smiled at Oscar. "Eh, she's great and all until every little bit of bickering leads to her squeezing the heck out of your ribs. So what about you? Any brothers or sisters that's following in your footsteps?" She then realized, "Ooo, we should probably look at the menu before the waitress comes back, unless you already know what you want off the top of your head."

[MappleMan7]

"Nah, born an only child. Although when I went to live with my Uncle I grew up with my cousin Olivia. She was lots of fun though- even if I had to pull her out of trouble one or two dozen times"

He chuckled at the memory before nodding and opening the menu

"Hmm... well, a meat lovers pizza seems like the way to go for me. What're you going to have?"

[SimplyWoo]

Katrina brought a hand to her mouth as she tried to hold back a snicker. "I didn't want to stereotype that of course the Barbarian would want a meat lover's pizza, but I totally called it in my head." She then looked at the menu, "Ooo I know what I want for dessert, that caramel apple pizza looks o/amazing!o/" She sang out as she then looked "I think I know what I want." She mentioned as she waitress then returned with the Large glasses of Guinness for the pair, and then noticed Katrina holding a unlit cigarette and pulled a lighter out of their pocket and lit it in front of her as she blinked in surprise. "Oh, thank you." She mentioned, blushing slightly as she brought the cigarette to her lips to bring the tip near the flame as she took a drag, pulling back from the flame and pulling the cigarette from her lips and she exhaled a lady-like stream of smoke away from them as the waitress then asked for their order. "I'll take two of the extra large slices of the supreme pizza." She then waited for the waitress to take Oscar's order and leave to get the food ready as Katrina gasped out. "Ooo I forgot to ask, tell me about your flame breathing thing, how did you learn to do that? Does that hurt to do? How do you get past that fluid taste?" She asked, fascinated about his fire-breathing.
