Tatsuya entered the restroom alone and found a stall where he immediately stood over the toilet. He felt woozy and the knot in his stomach about Senshin did not help at all. He just wanted to not see what was going to happen with the fight. Senshin was powerful, but did not see the honor of sparing an opponent who can bring you to even greater heights. He just did not get it at all.<br/>Ri wasn't exactly sure why Tatsuya was moving out of the battlefield, but he had his own lack of interest in this fight because he was so certain that Senshin would win. So, he sates his curiosity by following his teammate and making sure he didn't pass out on his way to the bathroom. Stopping outside the door to offer Tatsuya a couple minute's lead and some privacy, he soon followed into the room closing the door to echo behind him.<br/>He kept his hands in the pockets of his dark leather suit and looked around the room to see who else was using the facilities. Other than his slightly battered teammate, it was empty - much to his approval. While in truth he hadn't much of a clue why he followed the other to the restroom, there was more than concern for his well-being in his mind. He dind't know what to make of Tatsuya's visit in the stall though, and he narrowed his eyes while he watched to see how he was fairing<br/>Tatsuya heard another person enter the bathroom and while he would see who it was he didn't have the urge to. More focused at his frusturation with what was happening. He stood above the toilet for a few more minutes before he turned around and noticed there was someone behind him. He opened the door and noticed it was Ri. He narrowed his eyes, but then softened. "Couldn't stand the upcoming fight either," he said with that weak and coarse voice he always possessed.<br/>Ri grinned, cocking his head to the side. "I wouldn't say I couldn't stand it... More like I didn't really see a need to watch it." He shook his head and looked to the closed door again. "You and I both know how it will end up in the end." The Akkadi boy's voice was very conrasting to Tatsuya's, in that it was light and clear but just a touch nasaly, heavy with his middle-eastern accent too. He hadn't come across anyone else in the arena yet who seemed to share his origin, but such things didn't bother him. He did come to wonder what Tatsuya's origins were, though with his name he assumed he was Asian.<br/>Now, he looked the long-haired man up and down, appraising the shape his body was in. "How are you feeling?" He asked with a serious look on his face now. He dind't want to imply that Tatsuya looked worse for wear, but he knew the battle with Enki would have taken a lot out of him. He smiled that cocky smile of his again to break the tension. "That sure looked like one hell of a rumble."<br/>Tatsuya gave a small nod in agreement to what Ri had to say about the outcome of the fight, "That is true," he said breifly. Tatsuya never had a chance to test the boy's abilities and nor did he know what the boy could do. That was the main reason why he expressed his concern to Senshin, that was also how he got thrown into such a great fight. A fight he enjoyed, but yet didn't either. He knew this would only peak Senshin's interests even more.<br/>"Enki was a worthy fighter," he said to the boy as he gave him a weak smile, "It'll be a while before I can do something like that again. Next round perhaps."<br/>The shorter male nodded, aware that Tatsuya's assessment was true. But, judging by the way he behaved now, at least he knew he wouldn't suffer any long-term troubles from his fight with Enki. Until today, he hadn't known anything about Tatsuya either, other than he was always in his armor, collected some sorts of weapons and that he begrugingly worked for Senshin. He had towered over<br/>Ri with his spikey helmet, but now that they were standing on equal ground, the blue-haired boy noticed that the difference in their height was 4 inches, at best.<br/><br/>The more human side of his teammate made it easier to relate to him, though he still wasn't ready to make long-term friends. For now, though, he had other things in mind. A plan that would hopefully help relax his new acquaintance and strenghten the bond between them. Good ties between a few teammates could only be beneficial for Ri - as he didn't trust the Succubus and could never be sure how long he would stay in Senshin's good graces. While he owed the demon a great debt of gratitude, there was something very unnerving about him.<br/><br/>He shook his head to empty it of these thoughts, sending cerulean locks swaying back and forth while he took a few steps back the way he had entered the room. "He sure is." Ri'Staraa responded, maintaining the aversion of his eyes as he backed up to the door when he spoke. "Then again, so are you by the looks of things..." with that he rose his eyes and smiled mischeviously to his teammate, reaching a hand up behind him to lock the bathroom door.<br/><br/>Tatsuya listened to the boy and saw the mischievious look on Ri's face and gave a weak chuckle, "So what do you intend to do then boy?" He looked at Ri with a weak expression. The boy had something in mind, and Tatsuya figured he would go with it. Nicodemus was a demon he knew would help if he had to fight Senshin, the Succubus probably not, he needed at least one more to help balance the odds and so Ri's assistance might help. Besides he knew that if he was going to at least continue fighting he needed to make certain he wasn't so frusturated. Ri obviously had something in mind about that as well.<br/><br/>Ri scanned Tatsuya's handsome face, attempting to discern wether or not he was understood fully. The way he had left those words dangling, he worried that the other might think this a challenge to a fight. But the amused tone to his question, kept most of the tension at bay. With a sigh, he moved the hair out of his eyes and moved over to his teammate, licking his lips. He wasn't sure how his advances would be received but he thought it was at least worth a try.<br/><br/>"What, are you afraid?" He teased with an tone of his own. Soon he had his hands in Tatsuya's long hair, one moving upward to wrap around the back of his head and pull the two of them closer.<br/><br/>Tatsuya had a good feeling where this was going, but wanted to make certain the boy knew what he was doing. The taller demon was about to say something when Ri began to move his hand behind him and wrap around his long hair so that the two would begin to move closer together. "No," he answered as he continued to move closer to Ri now, placing his right hand on the boy's shoulder<br/><br/>The wind-blessed boy raised an eyebrow as Tatsuya did not protest. He had come across as somewhat serious up until now, so this slight playfulness actually surprised Ri. Things were still a bit hard to read at this point, but at least Ri'Staraa was reassured when Tatsuya actually returned a touch. He leaned into the hand on his shoulder and softly rubbed his cheek against it in a rather out of character show of sweetness, all the while keeping eyes locked with the other's in order to judge his reaction.<br/><br/>Soon, he was moving even closer to his teammate, bringing their lips together and grasping firmly but not painfully onto a large chunk of the other's hair. He made these moves but let Tatsuya judge how painful, fast or passionate things would be. The last thing he needed to do was push his teammate away by crossing some invisible line. So, for now, he took things a little slowly, dragging each flirtation out to an agaonizingly slow tease.<br/>Tatsuya took many things seriously, it was what made him...him. The demon did however know that Ri was attempting to try to help him and so he wasn't going to push Ri away. He could only imagine what it might be like to be a half-demon. You were effectively shunned by both demons and humans for the most part. He let Ri lean into his hand as he then caressed the boy's cheek with said hand now. His eyes while still stern, showed softness to them as he then pressed his lips onto the boy's lips as he pulled the boy closer as well. The next thing he did was move his other hand and place it on Ri's leg and he moved his hand up and down Ri's leg.<br/><br/>Ri didn't care much about "helping" either of them or the political ties he had been trying to forge at the moment. Now he was far more interested in what was building between them - particularly so because it required the bulk of his concentration because Tatsuya was proving so very difficult to read. In truth, this wavering back and forth flirting was far from what he enjoyed. All of life and love was far more enjoyable when passion and aggression was involved. He found himself biting Tatsuya's bottom lip at the thought and though it wasn't hard enough to really hurt him, he silently scolded himself and let the grip go, delving into kissing him deeper as a means to distract him from his lapse in self control.<br/><br/>Tatsuya could see that the boy was getting a bit more aggressive from the bite in the lip and so he moved his hand away from Ri's leg and moved it closer to Ri's crotch, slowly massaging the young demon there while he then grasped the boy's hair with his other hand and tugged on Ri's hair a bit before he started to kiss deeper with Ri.<br/>
