He shifted uncomfortably on the large pillow that Naomi had bought for him to have in his stall while he healed. The pillow helped a lot, but the wounds on his midsection still throbbed constantly and the bandages wrapped around the area itched and chafed. He growled softly and stared at the wall of his stall, eying the deep gouges in the wood where he had been biting and clawing at, even ramming his horns into it out of sheer frustration. It didn't help.
"I'm better than this." He said aloud, clearly seething under the surface. 'I need to be...' He echoed in his mind, the phrase he had been repeating to himself over and over again ever since his terrible failure. He had felt so close, so close to beating that striped mokai... He would next time. "I'm never walking out of the ring again until I've won." He spat, causing a human walking past his stall to jump at the sound. This was humiliating... His stall door wasn't even closed anymore, it was just roped off, he could get out if he wanted to but he could barely move, and his dignity was all but gone. He wouldn't be seen like this... He almost wished someone would close the door, that Naomi hadn't gone out of her way to convince the people who ran this joint to let him have a view of the outside while he healed.
"I'm sorry, Naomi..."

"That your human?" Erebus asked as he came up to Imnir's stall. "Naomi or whatever I heard from your mouth." He was being sort of snarky, which was unlike him but he was frustrated. Dorian had tried to lock him in his stall... Well it was for his own good, but he had been annoyed by it. Of course he escaped. Now it was time to explore the compound.
"Bad fight?" he asked. Looking at the wounds. He'd be right as rain soon enough. Nothing looked broken, but he wasn't a doctor. "Got my own battle wounds." He was a bit shaken up but he wasn't terrible. Still he was irritated by a tie, should have been a win for him.

Imnir glared at the white fighter who had apparently been listening to him talking to himself. He wasn't in the mood to interact right now, but he was a bit of a captive audience.
"Yeah, Naomi is my human." He grunted, "I was off my game last fight, I think I let her down. Doesn't matter now though, all that matters is that I won't do it again." He shook his head, clearing his mind of the self-pity that was dwelling within him and focusing on being the confident, unbeatable mokai that he knew he needed to be. "The name is Imnir, better remember it because before long I'm going to be the most famous fighter that ever lived."
Yeah, that was more like him.
"I'm sure you do." Imnir smirked at the mention of this other mokai having wounds. "Don't we all? Some more than others. All my wounds are from me taking a hit in order to counter-attack even better, on purpose, you know? Last fight I underestimated my opponent though. Won't do that again."

There were only a few fighters now and he had fought Seven so Imnir's opponent was Ai. He wouldn't feel to familiar with Imnir about this such development especially since he didn't really know him. However he listened and was intrigued. He really cared about his human it seemed, then again Erebus really cared for Dorian.
"I understand about letting down your human. My first fight, I let my human down." He could recall the disappointment in Dorian's eye, but even worse the fear. "Most famous fighter eh?" What a cocky b*****d, though a cocky nature may imply something heavier with this guy. "I dunno about that. Fighter yes, famous, well you'll have to get through me and the other fighters to prove that."

Imnir scoffed, "Most mokai have the manners to offer their own name when someone gives theirs." He teased, not particularly caring about it either way, he just wanted to harass this bold fighter. What right did he have to question his greatness?
"Don't get smart with me, pet." Imnir sneered, gesturing to the fancy collar and bracelets that the white male wore. "You obviously belong to some rich human, that's why you haven't fought me yet. Only REAL fighters get put in the ring with me, you know, so that chumps like yourself don't get your fur ruined." Imnir's fuse was exceptionally short from the constant pain and discomfort caused by his wounds, and he wasn't about to let this guy come in and act like hot stuff without getting a verbal lashing.
"As for the other fighters, I've beaten Seven once and I'll do it again. That stripey one has a couple sneaky tricks, but nothing I will fall for twice. And then there's you." He shook his head, "Doesn't look like I'll have to do much to be the most famous. The competition isn't even interesting!"

Erebus couldn't help but laugh. Now why would he give Imnir his name now. He was being cocky? A shrug, yah but this guy was worse. Though it didn't even get under his skin. "Name calling is a bit childish. But then again thinking you're the best is too. And last I checked, you don't pick the fights. your human does. If you've got a problem..." Erebus flashed his fangs, he could gore this fool right here, and showed his claws, "take it up with your human. Mine gets me whatever fights he wants. I've gotten the same fight twice. Not exactly thrilling."
Stripey one. Oh Ai. At least she was smart in the ring it seemed. Though this cocky fighter didn't seem to hard to beat because he thought he was the best. Still he wouldn't let this mokai get under his skin. Getting angry for nothing was incredibly stupid. "Does your human take you hunting, Imnir?" He sneered. "I'm sure you've never actually killed something. Felt it die. Are you willing to kill to be famous?"

"Funny, I thought pampered pets were supposed to have better manners. I guess you're not good at anything, are you?" He spat, standing up to face him. "Did I not make it clear? I meant your human won't put you in the ring against me because you would get badly hurt or worse." He snarled, taking a step towards him. Even though he was in no condition to fight right now, if nothing else this was HIS stall and he wasn't going to let some outsider come in and act like this without standing his ground.
His wounds protested painfully but he kept his face from showing it. He was a good actor when he had to be.
Imnir burst out laughing, "Your human still goes WITH you to hunt? Oh, what a riot!" He snorted, "Listen here, fluffy, I've killed plenty and I'll do it again. I'm not going to do it here for the safety of my human, not even in the fights with a real judge. I know how to follow the rules when I have to." He growled threateningly at the white mokai, "But if you ever have the guts to face me in an underground match, it will be the last thing you do, got it?"

Now he was laughing, an underground match. Well if that's what he wanted he would be able to get Dorian to do it. "You are just so cocky. What happens if you can't protect your human?" He threatened. "I'm sure that would be awful wouldn't it..."
Erebus turned and went just a little bit before he dug his back paws into the dirt and kicked it back at Imnir. "Scared to break rules Imnir? How many times do you go out to the wilds by yourself?" He asked, turning his head back to look at the dark mokai. "Do you have friends there? I'm almost positive you don't have any friends with that cocky attitude."

Imnir bellowed with rage, "Get OUT!" He barked, his anger boiling over. He would never let that happen, Naomi would never be in harms way again, not while he was here. That, that was the one thing that would send Imnir over the edge and this male had just crossed a line, "You had better get your sorry a** out of here before I decide to do something you'll regret." He snarled,
"There are no rules I won't break to protect Naomi, do you understand me?" His tone was icy, he had never meant anything more in his life. "Get your human to arrange a fight with me as soon as possible, and we'll see if you can even survive a legal match with me." He growled, "If you don't get hurt too badly, then I'll tear you apart in the underground."

That made his day. To see this other mokai go over the edge. He liked it. Still his demeanor was calm even when he was threatened. "Seems you can't hold your tongue. If you lose, I will crush your pretty human." He mocked, cackling as he came as close as he dared. "All brawn and no brains."
Then he began walking off, "I'll see you around Imnir. I will crush you so hard that you won't even remember your name." Turn about was fair play for him.
