After scanning various rooms and hiding spaces, it seemed as if Gigi had gotten an earlier start on her day or had found a new corner to hide in. Whichever the case, Sabina was mildly disappointed. Thankfully today was the Summer Solstice, and nearly nothing could dampen the young Kiskova's mood. Making her way in to town, Sabina was sure to stop by [i]Apollo's Cafe[/i] for coffee and a small breakfast before heading to the Coliseum. The former Praetor added her signature to the roster before stepping back out to the Forum while waiting for other contestants to arrive. Spending the next thirty minutes or so browsing various wares, Sabina didn't miss the opportunity to place a few bets while she was out and about. Small talk was made, smiles shared. Soon it was time for Sabina to return to the Coliseum to see who her first opponent would be. Derex Steiner - or 'Rex' as his friends called him - was someone that Sabina knew well. Their time in Legion working alongside one another had set a strong foundation for their friendship. Before Sabina knew it, she looked at Rex sort of like a brother. If she were to lose to anyone today, she would be fine with it being Rex. No matter the outcome, she knew that it would be a respectable and honorable sparing match. Their spar started playfully, smiles and small laughs exchanged from across the battle field. A spectacle of spear against Warhammer and the dance between old friends. While the fun managed to last, Sabina found herself striking with more intention and force sooner rather than later - and so did Rex. She wasn't quite sure where she went wrong, but that didn't change the fact that Sabina was now sprawled flat on her ass in the dirt. The young woman took her loss with dignity, and exited the battle field with her head still held high. Unlike some others here today, Sabina had no reason to feel ashamed for the way things had played out. She took the time to get her injuries looked over. Lucius gently reminded her that there was no smoking in the medical bay; a request that was followed, but earned a small grunt of dissatisfaction from Sabina. Nonetheless, she waited until she was bandaged and out of the med-bay to enjoy her vice. Briefly wandering the stands of the Coliseum, Sabina's eyes landed on Jeremy Grover a few rows higher up. She meandered in and out of the crowd as efficiently as possible before coming to a stop at her friends side. Taking a seat beside him, her gaze fell upon the next set of competitors just in time to watch Ashton forfeit to Gigi. Letting out a loud [color=2E922F]"BOOOOO"[/color], Sabina couldn't help but scoff at the events before her. [color=2E922F]"Please tell me you have some good booze I could borrow,"[/color] she half asked Grover.
