Giant snake monster? Did they have those in this new one? Rick must have really lucked out with this opponent then, Ashley her name was, who seemed just as new as he was. There was no real way to tell, but at least she didn't seem to have any crazy nutso powers that could rip a universe apart, not that anyone like that would participate in a silly tournament like this. Right?
"Um," Rick stated, not quite sure how to react. Though he'd been all nice and confident when he entered, he wasn't really sure how to go about things. Would he attack first? That didn't seem chivalrous though. He was a little nervous, to say the least.
Just as he was about to offer to take the first blow, metaphorically speaking, it occurred to him that he was all but naked already, compared to Ashley's bare skin only showing because of an unzipped hoodie. After realizing that, he was a good deal less psyched about offering, and he closed his mouth and returned to the awkward silence.
An idea popped into the Rookie's head, one that he liked, and he smiled beneath his blush again. He lifted a finger and pointed at Ashley while his other hand rested on his hip.
"Well, I have an offer!" Rick exclaimed, regaining a little of that charismatic bravado he opened with. "Because I generally try to be a nice guy, I'll do the chivalrous thing and let you attack first. But! If that offends your sensibilities, I would ask that you do me the favor of removing your hoodie. They may have permitted you more protections in the arena, but this way it will be a slightly more fair fight! What do you say?"
