Showering off after a loss (open thread)

[Lordoftigers]

Itzal walked into the changing room sighing now having a towel wrapped around his lower body "well I guess there is nothing like a good hot shower after a match or a cold one depending on the situation of the match." He laughed taking the towel off tossing it to the side before walking in to the showers turning on the hot water letting it pour on to him making his hair cling to his head and face. He chuckled watching as steam started to fill up the place "maybe for once I'll have some normal time off after the matches" thinking back to what happened last time he to took a shower after the match. He shook his head "nothing is ever normal around here."

From a discreet corner, a girl clad in a referee uniform watched silently the empty room, bearing a bored look on her face. Her name was Heidi, and her job today was to be alert to any surprise match at the showers. Normally, this shift was considered a bit ominous among the refs, given the number of weirdos that usually were seen at the showers and the particularly messy matches they often had. Heidi could have coped with this, but she just couldn't bear this calmness.
It was unprobable that someone would come in at that time. She even thought for a moment to skip her shift, when a boy finally came in. Heidi observed him for a long time, thinking that he looked rather normal, but still was bored; truth was, she was itching for a match herself. She had an interest in wrestling, but her last spar was long, long ago.

Itzal started to have the strangest feeling he was being watched which in this place meant that you probably were but unlike last time he wasn't worried nor was he willing to shy away from a would be opponent. "You can stop watching now if you would like its not like I'm going to fly off the handle at you or anything" he would wait for the person to respond if there was a person.

Heidi sighed. She had no point in further hiding, after all. She came out from her watching corner, letting her petite figure become visible for Itzal in the middle of the slight mist curtain formed by the showers. "Okay, I'm here. Just a staff member doing her job." She used that opportunity to give a closer look at him. "I wasn't meant to interfere. Sorry if I somehow interrupted you, Mr..."

[Lordoftigers]

"You can call me Itzal if you would like" he said looking over at the girl taking her in with a quick glance before he went back to washing himself though he did take the time to show himself off a little bit though so subtle it seemed like that's how he just showered. "You didn't interfere I'm just showering as of the moment."

[Thecoward]

"Oh, I see. My name's Heidi." She examinated him discreetly for a bit longer before turning her head away, in order to give him some privacy. She didn't notice he was showing off, but she did notice that he had his eyes on her for a moment.
Then she remembered something that, she hoped, could extend the conversation. "Mr. Itzal, right? If I'm not mistaken, you must have been the one to go against Miss Katrina today." She couldn't remember very well the details, but definitely recalled seeing his name matched with Kat's on the board that morning. "I hope it went out well. She's quite a handful."

Itzal continued to shower as she talked to him though his eyes grew a lot colder at the mentioning of his last opponents name something that was fueling his desire right now. "Yeah I did though it wasn't a match seeing as I had to wear a leotard that at the time was just to embarrassing to wrestle in." He let out a chuckle though shaking his head "o well it might of been a loss but not all losses are bad now it just has me itching for my next match."

[Thecoward]

Heidi just chuckled as well, not noticing that this could be a rather delicate topic. "Ah, yes. The new gym rule. Let's just hope the next girl you face doesn't force any leotards on you. But," - she stopped for a bit, turning her head to give another quick glance at him - "from what I see, you don' really look like the 'embarassed' type."

[Lordoftigers]

Itzal let out at another chuckle looking at her "yes well I was until after that match if that gives you any clue into what happened trust me they could shove another leotard on me and it wouldn't even matter."

[Thecoward]

"Oh, come on!" Heidi had been enjoying the talk, and had gotten a little liking for Itzal. She wanted to encourage him, even if it was only a bit. "It can't have been that bad! I can ensure you that, even if you lost shamefully, it's no matter to grieve over that much. I bet you only need a match to get runnin' again."
