Dan wouldn't show it, but he was actually quite relieved to see Mai put her weapon away. He'd only seen her combat capabilities tested once and it was messy. Messier than anything he wanted to be two feet away from. Hagetaka was a slight thing, but she'd be a bitch to clean off of the room and Dan's clothing if splattered by an overprotective warbot. Or at least Mai was thought to be a warbot, her true purpose had never truly been considered until now. This is a matter that requires further inquiry, but at a later date. As for now, cards and insults were being flicked about for his approval and he couldn't wait to see who came out on top.<br/><br/>(Hagetaka takes 4 Stress this round. This seems like a good time to remind you all that the winner will get a Favor reward from each fallen opponent. 1d6 for forfeit, 2d6 for Stress Explosion.)
