Return of the Paragon (For Maxy)

Ryan adjusted his bag on his shoulders, taking the weight evenly as best he could. There was all sorts in there, from clothes to ropes and other things. Lita remarked on John's fall during their last title defence and was curious as to what happened, Mr Knight would then state "He was remarkably fine it turned out, some bruised ribs and he was knocked out. But other than that John was okay, stayed with him the entire time. John had apologised for messing up at the end, but I assured him he was a good right hand man. Then said we'd all best take some time off, I departed the next day. Left a note for him, they'll understand."

Lita then spoke of how she wanted to fight Lucy, to which Ryan gave a little laugh and shrug. "Well I ain't her keeper, take it up with her. She's probably run ragged at the moment, but hey the new year's coming so there's that."

However Mr Knight's walking buddy did raise a question, would Ryan think of starting a family?

Ryan simply smiled and said "Perhaps. Not for a long time however, most likely when I'm in my 30's or late 20's. I discussed it with Anampo some time ago, I don't believe I'm ready yet for parenthood. Yeah I saw Sion and Daisuke's kids, back in last year." Mr Knight was still a young man, and intended to use that to it's full possible extent.

Though Lita mentioned that Sion and Daisuke seemed to be planning on packing up and moving here, to which Mr Knight stated "I'm pretty much staying in Japan now, granted I go back to the UK for new years. Champs need to defend the belts after all."

"Manage my career you say Ms Lita? Well......I think I'm fine the now, after all if I mess up it's my mistake. But we learn from them, at least I hope to do so if this excursion of mine has taught me anything." Ryan said, in truth he was sort of a manager to John. Given that he'd employed the master of creation to be his right hand man and helped him hone his talent, so that John in spite of being a rookie was able to be proclaimed a Tension tag title holder.

Eventually louder noises would be heard, Mr Knight smiled as he gazed up at the sky. "Well, guess we're getting back to civilisation now. I'll probably end up getting some funny looks from folks, I think I might keep the stubble though. Get that rugged quality to myself." the paragon laughed as he stroked his chin in thought.

Seeing Ryan adjust the bag she asked him if he wanted any help with that. She had a feeling he had a lot in there, so lightening his load wouldn’t be a problem for her. She was glad to hear that he checked up on John before leaving, otherwise she might have had some choice words for him.

“Well regardless of when you’re ready, when it happens prepare for a ride wilder than anything you’ve been through in the ring so far. Sometimes they’re little angels, and other times you just want to strangle the little shitheads.” He wasn’t trying to scare him, but being a parent hasn’t been an easy thing even though she’s managed so far. She took a moment to breathe before continuing, as thinking of a couple of times her young ones annoyed her and she didn’t want to overreact to it here.

“I guess that’s one way to put it” she mentioned to his reply about the thought of having someone help manage his in-ring career. “Though having someone stick up for you can be an asset, considering some of the sick and bizarre shit I’ve seen go on around here it’s good to have someone in your corner, and have that good mental reminder every now and then. Personally I don’t really need one as if it were life and death, but Lina’s helped things be a lot more smoother than if we did everything ourselves.”

Jokingly she tells him “If you think it’ll help I can toss you into a river, that’ll clean you right up…and I bet there’s something around here we can use to help you shave, let’s see…what did the Flintstones use.” She turns back to him and grins.
