Kel didn't want to come back to the boxing ring, not after knowing that the cruel moonlit man might be there once more.
But his fight with Alina had shown him that he had a lot to learn, and that night with Nate had been proof enough that he couldn't always outrun his problems.
He compromised by making the trek from his jungle shack to the boxing ring in the early morning light, a time he assumed the other man would be fast asleep beside the tattooed man. He wasn't quite sure what his plan was (he didn't have one, not really), but he figured he hoped something would come to him when he got there.
To his surprise, however, someone else was there before him. A woman he'd seen at a distance from within a bar before, and he paused in the ring's door as he sought to place her. After a moment's hesitation he stepped inside, letting his bow and quiver propped against a chair as he offered her a cautious nod of greeting. "H-hey. Are you here to work out, too?"
