@HonorableSpirit - with his money? The church could do that?

[Balthus von Albrecht @GrapplingKing]

@HonorableSpirit “Huh? What do ya mean, pal?” The blob questioned, thinking his fists had punched him a ticket straight for that new haircut! Nothing was gonna stop him.

Nah, no worries. He should really be more careful with his money but that’s just how it goes. But hold on, what happened -

[Yuri Leclerc @HonorableSpirit]

@GrapplingKing “You’re not out of this yet.” Yuri reminded him. He would have offered Balthus some of his hard earned money, but unfortunately, the church is blocking all of his transactions. No one’s currently willing to do business with him.

[Balthus von Albrecht @GrapplingKing]

@HonorableSpirit - haircut. Hopefully.

[Balthus von Albrecht @GrapplingKing]

@HonorableSpirit Wasn’t that the truth. He’d been given some funds from the church and he barely had any left. Things sure were pricey out there.
“I know, impressive, yeah? That took no time at all with these fists!” He laughed as he nodded that blob head. He was on his way to getting a new -

[Yuri Leclerc @HonorableSpirit]

@GrapplingKing Exactly. Nothing’s free, they both know that well enough.
“Sure, sure. You proved you’ve got what it takes, at least.” He said, reasonably impressed with Balthus and the short amount of time it took for him to complete his tasks. He’d get that haircut in no time.

[Shez @AgarthanVessel]

Shez was starting to wonder if that letter was ever going to arrive. It definitely should have been here by now.

[Balthus von Albrecht @GrapplingKing]

@HonorableSpirit Yep, Yuri was the fool that was on his case about his wild hair. But at least he was hooking him up, yeah? He’d just have to earn that haircut was all.
“I’m trying, I’m trying.” Balthus assured him. “You can just go ahead and call me the Reliable King of Grappling.” He declared.

[Yuri Leclerc @HonorableSpirit]

@GrapplingKing -- comes, he’ll do all he can to obtain victory in those upcoming battles.

[Yuri Leclerc @HonorableSpirit]

@GrapplingKing The fool that was on his case about his hair was willing to hook him up, but he wasn’t willing to do all the work. He wasn’t that foolish. “Sure. It’s about time you tried pulling your own weight.” Yuri replied in a teasing, yet somewhat exasperated tone. And when the time --

[Balthus von Albrecht @GrapplingKing]

@HonorableSpirit - that’s fine. I’m sure I can talk someone into coming with me for the time being.” He agreed as he looked around, seeing if he could spot some sucker to join him.

[Balthus von Albrecht @GrapplingKing]

@HonorableSpirit “Now that’s what I like to hear, Yuri!” Balthus exclaimed while raising his fist triumphantly, scoring. “You’re a true pal, ya know that?” He was glad he was at least getting Yuri’s help in roughing these tournament guys up. “Alright, alright. I guess -

[Yuri Leclerc @HonorableSpirit]

@GrapplingKing “Fine, fine… I’ll have your back at the tournament.” He agreed with a soft sigh before pointing a finger in warning at the blob. “But you’re on your own before then, got it?”

Sure, he doesn’t leave his people in need. But he wanted to see what Balthus could do without him.

[Balthus von Albrecht @GrapplingKing]

@HonorableSpirit - side.

[Balthus von Albrecht @GrapplingKing]

@HonorableSpirit Of course he was expecting his help. He was gonna steal Yuri one of these days.
“Yeah, y’know. You and me are fated to have each other’s back’s, Yuri. I can’t do it without ya.” He let him know. He could win that fighting tournament thing but he was going to need Yuri on his -

[Yuri Leclerc @HonorableSpirit]

@GrapplingKing “Backup, you say?” He repeated with a teasing grin and a mischievous glint in his eye, waiting for Balthus to elaborate. If he was expecting Yuri’s help, then he wanted to hear him ask for it.

[Balthus von Albrecht @GrapplingKing]

@HonorableSpirit - I’m great at building a reputation and all but I could use some backup, if you catch my drift.“

[Balthus von Albrecht @GrapplingKing]

@HonorableSpirit “Hahaha! Like a den of Ashen Wolves? I’m liking the sounds of that.” He agreed, still smiling from ear to ear. “So I just gotta bash a few heads and I’m in, yeah?” He asked, thinking he was understanding what Yuri was getting at here. “Y’know, -

[Yuri Leclerc @HonorableSpirit]

@GrapplingKing “Basically. Think of it as… a den of wolves.” He said with a devious grin. “You’re going to need to make more of a name for yourself in the underground if you want in. That means clearing out monsters and the like.” Yuri began to explain.
