Honestly Tal would have felt more put out if Ru hadn't gone for the marbles. In fact, he was kind of expecting it, given who she was and how she'd taught him to fight. The only thing stopping him going for his Dagger again was the daze he'd put himself into with the headbutt. His head was hard, sure, but that just meant that his brain got just as bruised as Ru's chin when it was all said and done.
A few neurons were still firing though! Enough to make his legs move and fling him sideways so that he managed to blindly dodge the final projectile before the match was called. Tal blinked sheepishly up at Hotaru from where he'd landed in the sand and then the corner of his mouth kicked up in spite of how his first match had gone. "Best fuckin' teacher ever," he told her, pushing himself to his feet offering her a shoulder to lean on while they left the ring.
"Just, uh. Don't let your boyfriend beat me up til we get home, okay?" Someone had to fly the skyboat!
~Fin~
