Khaa gave a thumbs up, "The crowd will enjoy the misguided hero gimmick." His partner snorted, [i]"... So what Shah-Nahul has a sidekick now?"[/i] Khaa glanced at him, "Looks like it now, if he doesn't die. I'll bet he doesn't die, partially because I want to see the look on my daughter's face when the Atomic Samurai signs her Cosmic Katana..." His partner chuckled as he gave him a quick smack on the back, "Bet accepted. Usual stakes regarding the life of a low level slave?" Khaa nodded, "1 solitary piece of currency." Khaa returned his glance down upon the slave pit, "You may stretch out your muscles for a little longer. They are still celebrating the Public Executions before any Gladiatorial Performances. It shouldn't be much longer..." His partner glanced at him, [i]"Well, they are executing the lineage of the Traitor Guard. You know the one who helped orchestrate the assassination of a Magistrate. It may be awhile."[/i] Khaa glanced at him, "Really they actually managed to kill the Magistrate, how long did it take them to do that?" The guard paused as he scratched the underside of his jaw, [i]"They were planning it for sometime, but they were quickly caught, as to be expected of traitors."[/i] Khaa smirked, "Quite. Slaves, do you wish to inquire upon the nature of your first enco-" His partner interrupted, [i]"They do not. I know you are a fan of Shah-Nahul. But there are so many slaves who are far more entertaining in the ring."[/i] Khaa glanced at him, "Well then, still let us have the slaves prepare for the performance. The Festival of Beasts shall be most spectacular."
