[ If the people around know, he doesn't act like he cares much either. ]

Not really. I'm better than that, you know.

[ He really is. He moves faster, he's stronger than he looks, he has a quicker reaction that people expect. Niall trained his sons to be good, and Declan is. ]

You keep me around because I make you come. I don't really need a pretty face for that.

[ But then he smiles. ]

I mean, it's a distinct plus, though. I'll be careful for you.

[svyaz]

Careful?

[ She only smiles, a sharpness to her face. And then she's climbing into the ring, tightening her pony tale.]

I want to see what you've got. [ Rose has only ever shown off her strength in her bed, but maybe she wants to see what he can do. Maybe she's so surprised to find him in a place like this that she can't help but want it. ]

[locoparentis]

Against-

[He looks surprised, then, and he takes a step back.]

Against you?

[svyaz]

[ She expected that. ]

Why?

Afraid I'll kick your ass?

[ She will, there's no doubt about that. But she wants him to admit that he doesn't think she can. ]

My dad told me not to hit girls.

[His dad only taught him how to mistreat them emotionally.]

[svyaz]

[ She's grabbing the tape that rests at the side of the ring, her eyebrows lifting as she straightens up. ]

Good thing I'm not a girl.

[ Woman, and every inch of it. Bouncing on the tips of her toes, she lets her gaze roll over him once more. It's more assessing than it is predatory. That will come later. ]
