@Kendra... you'll notice that he was all about the game when I posted BEFORE your post about taking his hand... then of course there was an attack to distract him and make him pull away to defend his mistress.  Worry not fair lady... now that the "danger" is passed he'll be back at your side waiting and hoping for additional contact with his mistress.  I'll get another post up in the near future reinforcing that fact... And do we know yet how the former champion is leaving?  Do we write him away, or did you want to pit him against the incoming champ for some additional sport to settle the question of who reigns supreme and is of course by extension who is worthy to warm your bed for you?
