The guard complied with Mia's request and turned around, making a face when he had his back to her, rolling his eyes. As she got busy though he peeked on her of course.<br/><br/>Once she cleaned her few bruises and washed off the gladiator's reward from her skin, her re-purposing of her exotic clothing reminded her that any damage to her robes would be lasting. It would wear and tear with time and eventually she'd have to give it up for a new outfit unless she found someone who could sew it or cast a mending spell.<br/><br/>When she was ready and turned to ask the guard her question, he was nodding to himself approvingly, checking out the monk's new look.<br/>"Saar? Oh he always keeps asking the same thing from the boss. He used to be the top dog in the arena until De'fwa smashed his head in and becoming champion. Ever since recovering from the injury that should have killed him, he's been demanding to face the champ again in a deathmatch. I imagine those two have the main event tonight, the last match of the games that is." he explained. "That helm he has on," he went on gossiping "is because half his face came off. He's so goddamn hideous his own mother would die from fright at his sight."<br/><br/>The man shook his head and opened the door, leading Mia out.<br/>"Either way, let's not keep the boss waiting. Come on, move it."<br/><br/>Mia was taken to the arena master's office, who was looking over some sheets of paper, lists of names and numbers associated with them.<br/>"Ah, there you are pretty girl. I like the new outfit. I'd like it more off you too. We'll have to get you into a proper gladiator outfit. So, did you think about your match? Should I put you in an early fight with small fry? Only pays if you win and the crowd likes what you show them. Or do you try one of the big mean warriors, someone of Saar's caliber again? You'd get paid full if you win, tip included if the audience likes you, and you still get half if you lose... spectacularly. Got it? Or would you rather withdraw from the game, content with what my gladiator gave you?"<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">Fight early against small fry:<br/>Win pays 50-100% of agreed sum based on performance.
