One of the Cyconoid Guards cracked his knuckles, as he nodded to his partner. "I will be back momentarily. I require relief for my bladder." He headed off, as the other guard merely nodded at him. "I shall inform if any other slaves try crawling out of the pit. After all, I know how much you enjoy whipping unruly slaves." The one who was leaving chuckled a bit, before he was out of eyesight.
The Cyconoid Guard who remained, glared at the strange man yelling about Justice, "Or you know it could be ACTUAL Beasts. Or sociopathic gladiators, or gladiators we made you assume are beasts. If it was the third you'd be committing an evil act if you kill them. But yes, Festival of Beasts. Also you heard the other match you'll be in. I do not want to waste my breath explaining it again, to such a lowly slave." He smirked as he glared at Akira. After a few moments of glaring, the Cyconoid tapped at his whip's hilt, as he peered curiously at Akira,
"Huh Slave." He spoke with a much more casual and friendlier tone, "Say, have people said you look similar to the Atomic Samurai? My daughter loves the show. Say if you don't die horribly, and you don't misbehave, would you mind signing my Daughter's Cosmic Katana toy? She would really appreciate it Slave. Also I could put a better word on your behalf, I mean you are an unruly slave, and I am positive you need several whippings; But if you behave and fulfill what I say, well if you don't die horribly, which would be a fitting end to your life, I'll put a better word on your behalf."
The guard points at Shah-Nahul, "Now he is a fantastic slave. Well other than REFUSING to kill when the crowd demands their blood spilt!" The guard glances at Shah-Nahul, "Oh! Shah-Nahul, my daughter is a fan of your fighting." The guard scratched at the underside of his jaw, "Well as am I actually as well. I especially enjoyed your bout against Selvak Sourtongue, NOW that was a fun match to watch. Also did you go against Drir'mar the Noxious? I don't recall if it was you, or some other Mastonoid, but it was a stellar fight. An excellent display of the fundamentals." He coughed as he spoke again, "Whenever "Bring your Child" to Work Day comes, if you would answer a few of her questions. I would appreciate it, as would she." The Guard continues staring at Shah-Nahul "Oh also best of luck in your fight. I doubt you'll need it. Slaves, inform when you are ready to battle."
