Author's Note: Remake of Scrapped Thread.

In-Universe Date - ~December 20XX

In the back of one of the many gyms, the locker rooms to be certain had a maid in one of them. Named Vivienne Bouclier, the so called Dutiful Defender. She was getting ready for an upcoming match of hers, it was to begin quite shortly actually. Her opponent was Senji Takijima, a man she had faced before and gotten to know. "Hmmm....seems that our fates are joined......." Vivienne mused to herself as she did her pre-match ritual, namely......cleaning the locker room. "Good heavens do the staff actually tidy these rooms?" Vivienne muttered to herself as she scrubbed at one part of the corner of the locker room for a good few minutes now, this was going to need to be addressed for certain.

She caught a glimpse of herself in the mirror, her ring attire was slightly modified now. Gone were her long dress skirt, instead her dress had a small tutu around the hips. Her boots were gone, showing only her silky cream thighs with cute little white foot anklets now. She looked prepared to go to war and then serve a nice little brew.

Giving a polite courtesy to the atmosphere at the corner of the mat, Vivienne would then stride forward before climbing up the ringside steps and wiping her feet on the apron before entering the squared ring. Vivienne would then stand at her corner with her hands held in front of her in a basket fashion with a light smile on her face, now she'd have to just wait for her opponent and the man of the hour to appear!
===========
Senji’s entrance was eager, similar to his partner for the day. He had not seen her since she had prematurely ended their last session together, where he had even gotten a gentle massage from the maid for his efforts in socialization. Despite the sour loss she had subjected him to in one of his first matches, a textbook RNC to exploit the back mount, he had not taken in an extreme fashion. It had opened the door to a new acquaintance, who he would now be spending hours, hopefully, mingling with her in the heart of battle. A kind of truth-telling that could only be found in the rush of a proper fight.

He had clad himself in something a little different for the holiday season. The redhead dressed up in a blackened Gi top that lacked the bottom half to avoid Vivienne being able to grip him by the pants. To replace it, any viewers would find a creamy white, like that found on top of a sheet cake, rashguard/spat set to avoid the problem of the user overheating while fighting or exercising. From Vivi’s point of view, however, she would find him carrying something when he turned the corner of the facility’s corner to make his way deeper into the confines of the gym. A pillow, a good amount taller than Senji himself, flopped around with two dense, blood-red ribbons wrapped around the plush material. Equally ludicrous is Senji’s choice of hat. A Santa-derived cap of red and white, covered by the top of the life-sized pillow.

Senji trailed his feet up the steps, pushing the comfort item over the three blue ropes to send it over without damaging the gift. With that done, he stepped deep into the leftmost corner, kicking his leg over to get inside the ring. Senji pursed his lips at Vivienne, starting off into a slow walk before it quickened into a jog. The fellow fighter spread his arms out now that he was at close-range, offering her a hug if she were to take it. She hadn’t seemed as closed off as his other partners, per se, so he saw no harm in giving some affection.

“Vivienne~! It is so good to see you again.”

[Deus001]

Well Vivienne was no stranger to being requested by people, it was part and parcel of her occupation as a maid of course but still Senji's frequent requesting was something that surprised even the dutiful defender. Still Vivienne was never one to turn down requests to the best of her ability and thus off she had went to the gym, the maid had gotten to the gym and already had started her pushups in the ring. How many had she done? All of them, many of the goers there gawked at the seemingly petite maid do this with the greatest of ease but Vivienne did it all the same.

Her ears perked up at hearing the familiar voice of Senji and Vivienne shifted from a pushup to a handstand and then a forward flip from there into an upright standing position, just because. Vivienne was dressed in a frilly red and white leotard similar to her usual ring attire and gave a slight bow to her sparring partner before saying "Ah yes greetings Senji-san, have you been keeping well since our last meeting? I trust so. I've been eager to try myself against you again." as she accepted the hug. It wasn't something Vivienne did often but she was never one to refuse requests, most requests anyway as she look forward to testing her might once again.

[TheLoneWanderer]

Vivienne cleaned up quite nicely, now that he was able to get a good look at her again. She even was dressed for the festivities of the holiday season, judging by the red and white outfit she switched to from her usual. Senji embraced her when she accepted, with his arms coiling underneath her armpits for a proper hug.

"I have been great! I'm looking forward to trying my moves again against you."

He said, referring to her debut match where they first met. Her skills on the ground were among the most flexible he'd had the pleasure to see, and she was quite the crafty opponent to grapple against. But to overcome her, he had to keep putting in the tedious work necessary to evolve past the maid in question.

"I bought a small gift to you too, I hope it's comfortable."

Senji drew back his hand from her back to point a finger at the flopped over body-pillow. Like the woman's usual outfit, it had been manufactured in a swirly blend of white and very light blue. Very stimulating to the eyes, unlike darker colors. Following that, the redhead planted his hands at his side. His knees buckled voluntarily which guided him to the floor to sit beside her. He crossed his legs over themselves, both happy to have finally met the charming Vivienne again and eager to get started in this two-way street of pulling then pushing the other for dominance.

[Deus001]

Vivienne would admit that not she didn't expect such praise from someone in regards to her martial arts, she wasn't unskilled by any measure but she had no actual dojo background but rather was privately trained by qualified martial artists. Educated but textbook. Still Senji seemed to respect it well and that was good enough for the maid. "I shall be happy to try and meet your expectations!" Vivienne said, before perking her ears up at her guest's words saying he had something for him.

A pillow of sorts? The maid looked at it curiously and then smiled warmly. Gifts were sometimes given to her for good service and Vivienne often refused them actually, she felt her passion was her own reward. Still Vivienne knew Senji might not be aware of the ways a maid would act and thus accepted it and said "That's thoughtful of you. You have my thanks, I've nothing on me to return the favour save for a spar offer. Though something tells me that will be suitable." as she knelt down to Senji on the mat and said "What would you request though of me for today? A dinner? A bath or a battle?"

[TheLoneWanderer]

Vivienne liked it? That was fantastic. He hadn’t the free time to afford hangouts with the woman, which he was fixing right now, but it made his heart swell a bit because he had guessed correctly on her interests.

"A battle...yes. That would make me feel favorable."

Senji floated the idea back at Vivienne, leaving the other options off the table. That bath comment in particular made him blush deeply, although she would have to infer what was inside his head. The maid was good company. Fair, stretched him out as he nonverbally pleased, and had enough awareness about her presence to not scare him off. But, that whole situation would have weirded him out and the proposition poked at his 'backbone'. He banished his mind from the tempting gutter, in favor of focusing back on Vivienne. That was too much. For now.

"---Especially about bettering my record."

A record which was meandering, as opposed to pushing himself into the upper echelon as his fellow wrestlers here wanted save for those already satisfied.

"I will last much longer than you choking me, you'll see."

He assured her, as well as himself. Like the two declined options, they would be getting close enough with a good, comforting battle.

[Deus001]

Vivienne had hoped that Senji would be open to having a bout, she wasn't one to actively enjoy combat and often saw it as a means to an end. Still she had gotten into the idea of a worthy opponent like in fiction and figured Senji could fit the bill. The maid stretched as she heard him engage in what she presumed to be "Trash Talking" and talking about his record and Vivienne would state "Oh one should never look at records for skill. Recall that while I'm formally trained I've never fought professionally till now."

The maid would then enter into her wrestling stance, arms down low and her body hunched forward slightly and said arms moving to make sure her chin was covered. "I shall be ready when you are. Prêt." Vivienne bore a welcoming smile on her face as she got ready for the bout and task at hand, serving at the table or serving a beatdown it was all the same for the dutiful defender.

[TheLoneWanderer]

A new word? Interesting. It did not sound like a nickname nor a curse.

"You should teach me that word----I'm ready now."

Senji snapped on the opportunity quickly, eager to begin and indulge himself. To present himself with the best chance, Senji needed to kill the woman's momentum before she got started. He dashed at Vivienne at the speed of a human tempest, working towards her on the bottoms on his feet in the form of a crawl. Not impossible to react to. Suddenly, Senji pushed his arms ahead to shoot for a low takedown. "Shooting" being where he cupped his hands around her middle or thighs to lock down her movements for a proper takedown. Despite that, Senji changed it! He pushed lower into his stance, similar to a prone position, in order to grapple at Vivienne's 'calves' instead. He did this in order to aim for a less obvious target and minimize the chance of a gnarly sprawl.

To spice up the move, Senji let go of her right foot in order to wrap both arms around her left knee to change into a single leg takedown. He pressed his chest into Vi's shin, much like an embrace that weighed down the maid on that side with his head nestled on her creamy thigh.

For better or worse, this left Senji to fight over Vivienne's stability.

[Deus001]

Well the bout was well underway now and Vivienne would admit that some part of her was excited for this, she usually kept fighting and maid duties as the same thing. Though a good opponent served to actually make her take extra joy in her craft, Senji was fast there and managed to actually secure a single leg takedown upon the maid and send her crashing to the mat. But Vivienne took it better in stride than most grapplers, only wincing slightly as she hit the mat.

Still her body and mind were sharp as she noticed Senji resting his head on her leg, Vivienne sought to shark about on the ground and try to trap his head right between her powerful maid thighs in a classical headscissors attempt. It was bold for him to try and attempt a takedown so early into this but far be it from the dutiful defender to not try and engage in a duel!

[TheLoneWanderer]

Senji was swallowed up by her legs soon, as Vivienne had took advantage of his head being close her thighs. This put him in a strange position, where his face was looking down harshly at the maid's crossed legs due to his neck arching. His body, however, was stuck sitting on the side of her thighs. There was an odd rumble that came from his throat, turning into a gurgle as she squeezed.

Senji would not get anywhere by groaning and moaning. So, he chose to try and get out of the woman's vice. He reached down in order with his arms to get his palms wrapped around her ankles. Then, he would push outward to try and break the connection between her feet. If Senji were able to do so before she could lock it as tightly as she could, then he could slide his head up to get out. This had allowed him to hug his forearms around the maid's stomach and press his face into it. He began to crawl his knees forward, inching himself up her body to scramble for a top mount.

By clinching her body, he knew she would find it harder to go back to standing up. He did find the way her cream-colored skin sunk, when he pushed his limbs or head into it, slightly pleasant as well as the acrobat's muscles beneath that had hardened.

[Deus001]

Okay Vivienne was hoping to trap Senji and hopefully just choke him out from there, it was never that simple of course but the maid could dream. Still it was clear that it wouldn't be so and the maid inwardly sighed out his nose, so be it she'd clearly have to make sure this spar was seen through and Vivienne would give her best.

Already off to a good start at least she had managed to take Senji down, but he was already scrambling and suddenly he was able to escape her grasp and was likely to get into a top mount on her. Giving a low huff of annoyance Vivienne would be attempting to slip backwards and keep her hands on the back of Senji's neck, to at least try to make him work for it. Whatever happened next Vivienne was gonna try and make Senji work for it all the same as she kept her grasp held on him.
