Mar smiled as the behemoth lost his composture. Now that reading the larger dragon became much easier, Mar quickly dodged to the opposite side of the punch's direction and then crouched, grinning as he gathered all his strength, "Strike two. AND OUT!" he roared loudly, alerting a few bystanders as he delivered a crushing knockout uppercut to his opponent left-cheek.

Dorothy, still embarrassed a bit, nodded to herself as the girls left and went to check on her own. She kept telling herself that Ryoji wasn't anymore than a good friend to her, nothing had happened between them anyway! ...Yet. She shook her head of the thoughts as she walked away from the stand, but time flew by as she was lost in thought and eventually she bumped onto something, "Ouch!" she whimpered as she fell down, her glasses falling off as well.

"Sorry, it was my fault, can I help you?" a claw stretched out for Dorothy, who took it and immediately apologized, bowing forwards repeatedly. "Hey, it's okay!" the other dragon laughed, chuckling mischeviously as she picked Dot's glasses up and handed them back to the dragoness.

"Th-thanks, I'm so sorry, I wasn't," Dorothy started, slipping the glasses on before she blinked her pretty blue eyes in surprise, "Ryoji-kun!" she called out. Ryoji laughed in response, apparently amused by playing with her bad eyesight while he had the chance, "Oh you! Why didn't you tell me it was you!" she giggled, giving Ryoji an affectionate hug, the grey-scaled, black-haired draconic youth returning it with a smile.

"My my, and to think it's been a year." Ryoji laughed heartily, letting Dot go before he stared onto her eyes, "I'm glad you could come. Today's a very special day for me." He said.

Dorothy blushed a bit, but smiled, "Really? Gee! I bet you know who's going to be the Aeon Dragon this time!" she giggled. Ryoji waved a finger in negative, and chuckled.

"I'm afraid I don't know, but it's great that you're here. Did you bring your brother along as well? I'd like to meet him." Ryoji asked, his beautiful pearly-white eyes practically soothing Dorothy's.

"Oh." She snapped, "Of course!" she said, waving a claw restlessly, "Hmm, but we got separated. But I don't think we'll take much to find him, no doubt he's hitting on someone from around and making a huge deal of it." She chuckled.

"Do you mean that, literally?" Ryoji said, having stared off for a moment, and back to look at Dorothy.

"Huh? Literally? What do you mean?"

"About hitting, and making a huge deal of it." Ryoji mentioned, and pointed over to the boxing ring in front of them, "I think we found him." He smiled. Dorothy on the other hand, let her jaw drop.
