Oh, there was a spark there. As the two of them spoke, Keith zeroed in on what AKANE was saying - or rather, not wanting to say. The two of them had been joined at the hip for nigh on three years now, most people would use the P word for that, but she seemed hesitant about the label. She didn’t get the sense that the redhead was the type to hang around someone she loathed or even had a mild irritation for, so there had to be something there.

”Heh, sounds like love at first sight.” He was quick to tag on a little laugh there, making sure to show that he was joking - or was he? He wouldn’t pry too much in that direction, but he would definitely poke a few more times before they were down. This thread was too intriguing not to.

The stuff about Alaina was interesting, though, and he decided that was a good street to travel down for the time being. ”Yeah, I saw that match.” It was one of a few he’d watched on the LAW Network in preparation for the interview, making sure he had a good idea of their history. The key spots, at least. ”That brainbuster you took? Brutal.” He hissed at the memory of it and rubbed his head in sympathy.

”You gave as good as you got, though. And I feel you about the whole ‘waiting in line’ thing.” He sipped his bottle down to half and set it aside for the time being, as he leaned her way. ”I’ve been getting that a lot since I started, people saying I’m an outsider, I should start with the Young Lions, stuff like that. They say I should wait at the back of the line, but like…what line?” He shrugged and looked about. ”I don’t see a line. I say, if you can hang, take what you can get.”

He tapped his chin, considering for a moment, before he moved on to a dicier subject. ”Speaking of that, though - and stop me if I’m wrong - but you’ve not had a title shot, have you, Tia? AKANE, you actually beat Kyoko Akan, but lost the actual title match. Kind of bullshit in my opinion.” Keith looked between them, judging reactions, before he got a little conspiratorial with his tone. ”You’ve both got the talent for big game, right? You think management is holding you back?”
