[you're in what seems to be a boxing ring/caged arena made for a fight. it's hot and there are bright lights shining down on you. beyond that could be an audience but all you can see are shadows. on the dusty ground in front of you lies Hardy. he's already battered and bruised and bleeding. his chest is heaving and his clothes are torn. definitely hurt but he's conscious and seems... strangely titillated? he hasn't gotten back up yet but standing over him you can hear him growl the word:]

More.

1/2

[This fight is crossing a lot of weight classes.

Glory seems at ease with it, though: hair pulled back, hands wrapped, tank and boxing shorts only slightly askew, barely a sheen of sweat on her despite the lights. Her eyes are flat and narrowed, focused, her stance guarded even with Hardy flat on the ground—]

[—Or at least, that's what she looks like until he growls for more. Then her whole demeanor shifts, eyes widening and some light coming into them as she straightens and looks him over head to toe with a deliberate fluidity.]

You're enjoying this.

[he props himself up on his elbows]

It's what I deserve and what I want. There's no problem with that, right?

[rollplayinghouse]

[she frowns slightly]

...What you want is one thing. But I'm not interested in being a tool for you to beat yourself up for some stupid guilt complex.

[1istheloneliest]

There's no complex.

[there definitely is but he's not fully cogent of it because memory hijinks]

But it is what I want.

[rollplayinghouse]

Why?

[she steps forward to lift his chin with the toe of her boot before stepping lightly on his neck.]

Tell me, or I'll kill you quickly without bothering with any of this.

[1istheloneliest]

Because when the pain becomes all you can focus on it's a type of release. You can forget everything for a little while.

[rollplayinghouse]

[She leans more of her weight on him]

So you're avoiding things?
