Eliza had recently returned to Tension following the tension battle royale, whereupon she took time off. And resided with her family, although some of her relatives hadn't been too happy regarding her choice as a wrestler.

Eliza was nonetheless determined to progress as one, her parents approved at least. Not too long Eliza had her return match against Kira Tenshin, and the tension fans certainly remembered her. Even if the dancing passion had changed her attire, she now resembled a flamenco dancer. To show her new found focus, her corset and stockings now mostly black and red. Also in the ring Eliza had expanded her array of moves, employing submissions and even the odd power based move here and there. But still the main tools of Eliza had and always would be her toned dancing legs.

It was a good enough day so far for the dancing passion, with that in mind Eliza had headed to the Tension gym. And had a set of mats on the ground, Ms Harenwood was stretching her legs. Once she was done Eliza then went over to her CD player, whereupon the Venice Violins began to play. As the delightful tunes began to play Eliza had gracefully begun dancing, displaying tremendous balance on her feet.

After executing two pirouettes Eliza then stood still, and performed a handstand. She perfectly balanced herself with her toes pointed, and then her left leg moved forward as she went out the handstand. Her right leg followed and then Eliza easily settled herself into the splits, it had been something that Eliza had practised ever since she was a young girl. It had no real practical use in the ring, but it was something that Eliza did just for the sake of it.

Ms Harenwood then remained there, running her hands through her hair. Although the music was loud, and perhaps it might attract someone towards the dancing passion. Or as some would say, the most classiest girl in tension.

Valyn walked into the gym running his hand through his hair as he did, his eyes looking upon his brown locks showing a hint of sadness and longing. He shook his head as he continued further into the gym, he had been here before, it seemed he was here more than he was in the actual ring.

His ears caught the sound of the loud music being played, causing him to scan the room before walking towards the music. He came upon Eliza, watching her move his eyes locking on to her body never leaving her lithe form as she danced. He never took his eyes off of her as she finished into the splits, a small smile forming as she finished.

HE would step forward to her clapping lightly "That was quite impressive I've never seen something so graceful."

Eliza was in her own little world at this point, thinking about what she'd be doing in tension now that she had returned. Namely winning over all the major people in the arena. People like Clyde Gastin, Johnny Higurashi, John Mitchell, Carmen Rodriguez, Ninjette, Bryan Daniels and the list went on and on. Just like the legs of Ms Harenwood for that matter.

Although she was yanked out of her happy little world by a reveille of sorts, Eliza opened her eyes and turned to hear the voice. There was a man nearby, Eliza didn't recall seeing him from anywhere. Perhaps he was new to tension, must have been considering that Eliza had been watching tension religiously. So if there was any new faces Eliza would have made sure to have at least found their name.

Upon hearing his comment Eliza smiled and said "Well then you must not have seen me compete in the ring." she stood up and proceeded to turn the CD player off. After doing so she folded her arms and sized up the man, folding her arms and looking up and down at him.

Eliza then nodded and said "Well I don't recall seeing you before, although you must be competing here in tension. Are you new? My name is Eliza Harenwood." since coming to this league Eliza had since mellowed quite a bit. She was polite before, but was a tad aloof at the same time. Now though after interacting with several wrestlers here, Eliza learned that she didn't need to be so formal all the time.

Valyn smiled his eyes moving over her body, running all the way down her legs before snapping back up to her eyes. HE was dressed rather casually, obviously intending to workout, in a white t-shirt and a pair of black sweat pants.

""I'm afraid I have not though I'm sure you must be excellent." His tone was polite, if not reserved and his body language was relaxed while he tucked his hands in his pockets. "I'm, not super new but I've only been in the ring once, so I haven't gotten a lot of screen time. Also I had to take some time off for some personal things. I'm Valyn Azora a pleasure to meet you Eliza, how long have you been at Tension?"

Eliza thought she hadn't seen the man, it must have been a while back. As it hadn't been till 3rd match that Eliza had chosen to watch Tension frequently, to get a measure of the people that she could compete against. So seeing as how Valyn only had one match and that might have been a while back, the odds were good that he slipped through the cracks. Eliza thought that was a bit of a shame, the guy looked like he could do quite well in this business.

But the young woman hadn't seen how he fought and that worked against Eliza, although based off what Valyn said then perhaps he hadn't seen her compete. So in a way it was balanced out, that worked find for Ms Harenwood. Valyn's attitude seemed nice enough, a good thing too considering that there were quite a few males in tension who had less than stellar reasons for being in tension.

Eliza nodded and said "Well I'll have been around for a year in April, in fact I even competed in a battle royale for the world title number one contender spot a few months ago. I'll admit I had no idea I'd be doing something as grand as that in such a short time, I didn't win of course but I believe I put everyone on notice.

Then Eliza went on with "After that event I took some time off myself, to spend time with loved ones over the holidays of course. My win and loss record isn't too good to be honest, and I've thought about that. I've trained extensively, and have planned to take tension by storm." she was basically giving Valyn the run down over what had happened recently, which might be good for him considering that he was away due to his own reasons.

Valyn was listening to Eliza intently, his eyes focused on her never looking away fro her. He hadn't watched so much of Tension due to having to be away so he had never seen her fight, nor had he even known there was a battle royal that was going on. Though looking her over, he could tell that she would be quite a challenge, and she didn't seem like some of the worse females here.

"Well I'm sure you will take Tension, by storm you look more than capable enough of getting to the number one contender spot again and being champion. I'm looking forward to getting back into the ring myself, I think it's time for me to try and make a name for myself around here."

He smiled as he looked around the gym "are you just in here to train, or were you going to spar someone later?"

Eliza smirked on hearing Valyn talk about how one day she could perhaps become tension world champion, the title having changed hands from John Mitchell to Reira Kirishima quite recently. And not to mention the other things that had been going on as well. "Well you know if you said that last year people might have looked at you funny, I'll admit the crowd think I'm awesome. But the fact is the match records don't lie, but maybe one day. And who knows, there's even been a tournament to decide new tag team champions here in tension as well." Eliza said with her arms folded.

Upon hearing Valyn's question Eliza raised an eyebrow, Ms Harenwood hadn't expected to fight. But given the nature of Tension she was bound to get into a scrap outside of her booked matches, she recalled one Japanese man tried to rob her a while back. Only to quickly get not her money but a swift heel to the cheek.

"Well I didn't actually know to be perfectly honest, although I can tell that you most likely wish to fight me. That is fine by me, but I should let you know that I'm no longer the jobber that I use to be." Eliza said as she strode past Valyn towards a ring, confidence oozing from every part of her. Eliza had already been confident, but being a wrestler had made it more open. As opposed to the ballrooms of England where emotions were usually kept to a minimum.

Valyn was blinking as he watched her walk past, chuckling a bit he had no intention of fighting her at the moment. He shrugged as he walked towards the ring his eyes trailing over her body again , down her legs. "Well then please do go easy on me, I'm sure you are quite skilled." His voice wasn't sarcastic at all, it seemed genuine.

He would pull himself up and over the ropes into the ring walking over to a corner. HE begins to stretch out as he does starting with his arms, then his legs. His clothes keep his body covered but its clear through his shirt and arms, that he is quite lean with toned muscles, not bulky but still strong.

He would look over to Eliza with a smile "So standard match, pinfall or submission?"

Eliza had rolled herself into the nearby ring, she had a feeling that this would happen. Might as well have considering that Eliza hadn't really sparred with anyone in the gym before, and besides here Eliza didn't have to worry about flubbing it in front of the crowd. Still though the young woman wasn't going to make this a habit, even sparring could hurt of course.

When Valyn asked Eliza to go easy on him Eliza raised an eyebrow, and then smirked before saying "Going easy and holding back is considered highly rude Mr Valyn, I request that you show your best. I shall do so also, after all if you expect to be able to make it here then you need to give your all. Each and every match." her gaze then went serious after that to get her point across.

Valyn looked like he could handle himself, he wasn't the level of muscle as say Army Rodriguez or Bryan Daniels. But still that meant he was more quick and wiry, something that Eliza would need to keep an eye on to be sure. At the same time though only the fastest could outwit the dancing passion, Eliza would play to what she was good at. While also trying to apply some new moves that she had practised over the holidays.

"Well this is a spar, so why don't we just come at each other till we're tired hm?" Eliza believed that rules were meant to be followed of course, but this wasn't a proper and legit match in the arena. So Ms Harenwood was more lax in this situation, waiting to see what Valyn had to say about that.

Valyn looked at Eliza as she got serious in her comment, which made him chuckle slightly to himself before nodding to her. "I promise that I'll show you my best, wouldn't want to insult you be giving you any less." He nodded to her, his eyes serious.

"Sounds good, well then let's just give it our all and really show each other what we got." He finished stretching, before facing his opponent with a smile, before letting his expression become neutral and serious. He moved from the corner a bit "well then let us begin."

He would spread his feet apart, moving into more of a grappling stance as he kept his eyes on his opponent.
