>"I suspect you won't hear any objections from them."
>"Friggin' right." says Cynthia. Then she looks at Kenyu. "You're thinking 'us vs. them', right?"
>"I am." Kenyu says with a nod. "I've enjoyed our fight, Lotus, and I'd really love to finish our duel. But I don't want there to be any tension between your group and mine. A little tussle should work that out."
>"You would be outnumbered." Chrysanthemum reminds him. "There are six of us, and only five Blood here."
>"That just makes it more fair for you." the firefighter says, though he says that as a matter of fact, rather than with any sort of bravado or bluster.
>"And think of it this way." the tiger Blood says to the tiger miko. "It'll give you a chance to practice against multiple powerful targets, in case those Champions decide to come at you all at once."
>"I didn't think you'd want to help us." Carnation remarks.
>"It's not you or your group I have a problem with. I'm a cop. I welcome anyone that helps protect my city." He points at Poppy. "It's her I have a problem with, her and her kind."
>Kenyu scowls briefly. "And that's the kind of conflict I want to work out before it gets any worse. What do you say, Lotus? My Blood against you girls?"
