As he exited Vamos' shop, Ganondorf caught sight of a familiar magus: Rubick, [color=Red]"Indeed... Rubick, I believe?"[/color] he replied, exchanging greetings with his fellow Seeker. The magus brought up the adventures both groups had experienced in their time separated from one another, [color=Red]"If you consider nearly drowning in a tidal wave of blood to be an 'adventure'..."[/color] the Gerudo muttered, not exactly keen to recall that place, [color=Red]"...but unfortunately, the only real stories I have are..."[/color] he appeared to hesitate momentarily, careful to choose his wording wisely, [color=Red]"...war stories, as it were. I wouldn't want to bore you with any of those."[/color]

By this point the two of them had begun to walk together. And it was here that Ganondorf attempted to change the subject before he could pressed any further about his 'war stories', [color=Red]"Actually, I was thinking of returning to The Thorn to give these new infusions in my weapons a... test drive of sorts."[/color] he gestured to his newly upgraded swords, [color=Red]"Perhaps you'd care to try your hand there, yourself? The fights are not to the death, and they keep clerics on standby to treat injuries in between rounds."[/color] he offered, in case the magus might be interested in a little amusement, [color=Red]"The money you win is quite good too, of course. I was told you could even bet on matches as a spectator if being a combatant doesn't interest you."[/color]

Whether Rubick accompanied Ganondorf or not was obviously up to him. As for Ganondorf, he made his way back to the Amusement Park district and to where he remembered the entrance to The Thorn was. Whether he was alone or if Rubick was in tow, the Gerudo King would be greeted by the familiar figure of the woman who had first beckoned him down into the underground arena.

"Ah, you've returned. Back for more blood are you, Stranger?" Red Lucy asked with her usual seductive tone.

[color=Red]"For a couple of more rounds, yes."[/color] The Gerudo answered, indicating his intention to fight, though not quite as much as he had the previous evening. With those greetings done, Ganondorf climbed down into the tunnel that would lead to The Thorn and its infamous Pit.
