Tyger’s attention is drawn to one of the monitors when the announcement comes on somehow he is not surprised that his is to be in the very first match. When the demon appears and appraises as him as if looking at a piece of meat he merely stares at her through his cool charcoal eyes showing absolutely no emotion at all.  He completely ignores Helena, but does hear her words describing the arena and the rules.<br/><br/>When Giselle speaks and offers her necklace Tyger smiles which reach his eyes even as they remain their gray hue. He takes the offered gift but reaches out and places it back around her neck. “I cannot accept something that you may need to protect yourself. You may be called to your first match before mine is complete. I’m not defenseless, my friend.”<br/><br/>As Terra presses her gift into his hand Tyger squeezes her hand affectionately but does not take the offering. As he gazes into her indigo eyes his change to their violet color. “You are much too precious to me to leave you without all of your defenses. Keep it for your own use should you need it. That things promise of giving me my greatest desire is just a lie and can only be given through illusion, which cannot compare to reality. My greatest desire is standing before me NOW, and knowing that you are here waiting for my return is all the defense I need against her worst forms of attack.” He turns to leave but suddenly stops and turns back to her. He takes her into his arms and pulls her body against his and presses his lips to hers in a deep kiss.<br/><br/>Breaking the kiss and reluctantly the embrace Tyger turns and strides out of the room. He stops before the portal leading to arena 21 and looks at the nearby monitor which is showing his destination. He studies his battle field as best he can through the screen and ticks off time in his head. When there is only seconds left before his five minutes are up his armor goes into full combat mode leaving only his eyes uncovered and he steps into the portal. He steps out the other side of the portal onto the temple grounds completely unaffected by the disorientating affect of travelling through the portal as it is not much different than the affect of passing through shadows as he has for a very long time. Wasting no time he immediately moves off to the side and virtually vanishes into the shadows as the portal closes.
