They seem real to me. "Hey, Domino, do these coins I was given look alright?"
>"You don't trust that councilman, do you?
"Well... I just want to be safe."
>"Hey, I getcha."
He looks some of the money over.
>"They're okay. You bettin', right?"
"I'll bet 30, I guess."
>"That's what I like hearin'!"
I turn my attention back to the fight. The last round is about to start... Awe, man, Lumin looks bad, all those cuts. I didn't realize how bad he looked before. He's breathing really heavily, too.
>"I think the heat's gettin' to him, Mayli."
"You're right. It's easy to forget who he is sometimes. Lumin hasn't had much trouble with the heat so far, but he's still a far northerner. This isn't good. That bet may have been a waste..."
When the bell rings, Lumin takes two slow steps forward. He barely has his arms up. His opponent approaches and socks him right in the face. Lumin falls backwards. He's not moving.
>"He's gonna lose! Get up, Lumin, come on!"
"No, no, he needs to stay down. He can't take anymore with the heat down here."
>"What a shame."
People start crowding around Domino to collect their payouts before the fight even ends. The ref counts 10 and the fight's over. I make my way to the ring.
>"Mayli, where you goin'?"
I get up near Lumin, who's being cleaned and given potions and water. "Hey, you okay?"
>"Damn heat."
"I know... You did good, though."
>"Thanks, Mayli."
"All those punches to the head, Big Boss is okay, right?"
>"Yeah, yeah, we're fine."
He finishes being cleaned.
>"Okay, we got you cleaned up, and those potions should make these cuts fade by morning."
>"Alright. Thanks, guys."
>"Sure thing. Always a pleasure to work with a good fighter."
