He knew even before he opened the door that she had been by. Her scent, no, not scent... her essence lingered. Sure enough, there on the dresser was a note. Hmmm... someone had challenged her for the Overlord title and she wanted him there as her Man of Honor. Ok, he had no idea what this would involve, or why she would ask him. Surely there was someone more established in the Duels that could do this for her? Sure, they were friends of a sort, but this? Well it can't be that big of a deal or she would have come to him in person, right? Course he hasn't been very available. Spending his days hunting, his nights with Chaz.

Dang, speaking of which, he was supposed to be meeting her down in the Arena before too much longer. Stripping off his shirt he tossed it on the bed and moved to the other room and over to the tub. grabbing the edge of it he bent over and plunged his head under the water. A few bubbles rose to the surface before he reached into the water and scrubbed his face, head and hair a bit.

Quickly standing up, his hair whipped a trail of water across the ceiling and the wall behind him. Chaz's shower was nice, especially when she was in it as well, but he could use a good long soaking. They would have to spend a night here very soon. A bit more shaking and some work with a towel and his hair was dry enough to tie back. Then donning a fresh shirt, one of the last that she didn't already have, he was ready to head out. He had decided to accept Shakira's invitation, but he wasn't sure how Chaz would take the news.
