(01-31-2022, 12:22 PM)Raion Kido Said: Raion looks at the unconscious new half of the XWF Tag Team Champions, and then at the King of the Midcarders. Even if it wasn't a congratulations wish, it was a good word his way, and it came from a new Champion, so it was only proper form to reply in kind.

“Thank you sir, and congratulations to you and your partner!”

He grabs the water bottle he had earlier, leaving the bench clear, and then turns towards Mark Flynn.

“Um, shouldn't we do something about your partner? I can help you put him on the bench. Better than the floor at least.”

Flynn doesn't acknowledge the polite compliment and is just kinda eyeballing Kido, gauging how he carries himself and his stance...

It isn't until Kido offers to assist NK that Flynn seems present.

"My partner?" Flynn's eyebrow twitches. He follows Kido's hand and context clues toward his unconscious co-champion.

"OH! HIM!" Flynn cackles. "Nah, he's fine. Watch this."

Flynn grabs the bottle out of Kido's hand, not asking. After a second, it seems like even Flynn realizes that was rude.

"Do you mind?" Flynn asks, a little too late. Even more rude, Flynn doesn't wait for permission... before dumping the remaining contents of the water bottle on the back of NK's head.

The moment NK gets wet, his muscles spasm and his body gets all tense! He pushes up off the ground and forward-rolls defensively! ...Unfortunately, he's already pressed up against a wall and just somersalts up a half-foot on the wall before landing on his back, his legs up on the wall!

"WE'RE UNDER ATTACK, MARK FLYNN! EXECUTE EVASIVE MANEUVERS! STRATEGIC RETREAT OUTSIDE THE RING! REGROUP!"

Flynn leans down. "Nah nah nah, bud. You're good. It's over."

NK peers up, still very clearly dazed. "The match... is over?"

"Yeah, it's over. We won."

NK blinks, still waking up, before peering down at his waist, feeling the weight of the title belt around his middle.

"Ah." ...After a moment, he sneers boastfully, patting the design plate of the belt with pride. "Of course, we were the victors. It nearly went without saying we would regain our rightful place as champions of the tag-team division. It was never in doubt for a moment!"

Flynn shakes his head. "Yeah, sure, bud. By the way, you're bleeding a little bit."

"INCORRECT, MARK FLYNN! I do not bleed before, during OR after battle!" NK says... while wiping away the clearly-visible blood running down his nose. "This is clearly fake!"

"Ah... Well... my mistake, then."

Flynn hands the empty water bottle back to Kido.
