The ceremony was the usual done-up nonsense as the last two years she'd been through this, though with the added question of where exactly Elijah, and of all the people, Victoria were. Elijah wasn't exactly the type to shirk his job responsibilities, and as for the bloody [i]Champion[/i]? Well, it was a good thing that Old Man Amaranth didn't suffer a stroke from something like that. 

As they exited the stadium, Fiona chuckled awkwardly at the sight of the Chairman before them, mostly due to Hestia's assertion. Shite, she was in for it now, wasn't she?

The next few words out of the old man's mouth at least reassured her she was off the hook for now. But as for the implication of their Champion being absent...

[color=87ceeb][b]"Eh, fer all we know, Vickie's eloped or something."[/b][/color] Fiona shrugged back at Chairman Amaranth, seeming unconcerned. [color=87ceeb][b]"Or she lost track of time trainin'. Either way, we got at least weeks until we actually need her, right? Champion's Cup and th' end of challenge season ain't fer a while yet, so we got plenty of time tae fix this if there's actually a problem. Get yerself some rest before worryin' about this too much, boss man. Don't need our Chairman keeling over now, do we?"[/b][/color]

As the conversation shifted gears to the evening meal, Fiona's stomach rumbled in response. Oh, right. She hadn't eaten anything beyond a snack since breakfast, considering she'd spent half the day making sure everything at the Stadium was in order for the opening ceremony, and the other half of the day enjoying the festivities. 

[color=87ceeb][b]"Oi, Nordy, ya know I live here, right? Sheesh, at least lemme host. Or Zeke, he's from here."[/b][/color] She jabbed a finger back towards the Fighting leader's way. [color=87ceeb][b]"Anyways, I was thinkin' Duke of Spice's always nice. Battle Cafe's got great desserts, but I kinda want some meat an' booze before we start with th' sweets. Or fish, new sushi place's opened up downtown, chef's straight outta Johto."[/b][/color]
