“So, what are the terms and rules of the fight Drin?”

“Two rounds. The first is fists only. During the second round however,you can use all techniques at your disposal. Each round has something else at stake for each of us. Lay out your bets Nare.”

“My contract is my bet for round one. If you win, my contract is officially terminated with no dishonor to me. If I win, you turn yourself into the Capitol’s agents. Sound good?”

“Yeah that sounds fair. Round two will be a fight of pride. No stops allowed except for a humble submission by one party or the other.”

“Do we have any business of that sort?”

“Rich. Especially coming from the one who accused me in the first place! You know what i’m talking about.”

“Oh. That event! The stakes are self explanatory I presume?”

“Indeed they are. Let’s head to the Arena Registry and make it official. The Capitol is bound by so many rules, it is a shock that they haven’t collapsed yet.”

“Quite the shock indeed. But it is a good thing that they have to acknowledge all duels and their terms.”

“But they will come after you after both matches are over.”

“Let them! what‘s the worst they have? The DPAC? Don’t make me laugh! I could easily overpower them with only one eye and one arm!”

“Okay. I’m not dreaming. Nice work! Mark my words, I will make sure that you receive a promotion for this by the end of the week! Relay this straight up to the Dangerous Persons Apprehension Corps (DPAC). Bypass all other groups.”
