The Sponsor
Lapisa woke up in the sauna after her injury was healed.
" What happe-? Shit, that's right," Lapisa said.
"Lapisa! You're okay!" Planta said.
" Okay physically, I guess. I was doing good though, where did I go wrong?"
" You didn't. I did," Pulmenti said.
" What do you mean?"
" Isn't it obvious? The stuff I gave you guys. It caused you to lose consciousness."
" What? You said it'd be fine!"
" I know. I made a miscalculation. You see, the amount I gave you two, was only small to golems. That same amount was much stronger for you and Planta. I'm sorry."
" Sorry doesn't quite cut it, Pulmenti!"
" Lapisa, don't be so harsh! He just made a mistake!"
" That mistake may have cost us our chance of leaving this planet! Nobody will sponsor me after that match! And it's all Pulmenti's fault!"
" You can't know that for sure!"
" No, she is right. I messed up. I should have known what would happen. After you both helped my bar so much, how could I mess up this bad?!"
" Don't be so hard on yourself. I still won, we can probably find someone to sponsor me," Planta said.
" No offense, Planta. But you barely managed to win that fight. The chances of you getting a sponsor are minimal at best."
" Oh? And what makes you think you would have had a better chance of getting sponsored if you won?"
" Because, other than that attack I took, I didn't suffer any other injuries. Unlike you, fighting the mantis."
"Well, getting me a sponsor is the best chance we got! Do you have any better ideas?"
Lapisa sighed in irritation. " I can't say that I do, Planta."
" I might," Pulmenti said.
" You do? What is it?" Planta asked.
" I need to check on some things. But, I may have a sponsor for you two. I'll be back to confirm in a little while," Pulmenti said. Then left the Sauna.
" Great, so what should we do while he tries to fix his fuck up?" Lapisa asked.
" First off, you could stop being so bitchy. Secondly, maybe we can get the blacksmith here, to make me some light armor?"
" I don't see the point. It's not like armor that light will offer you much protection. And even if it did, it'd just slow you down."
" You have a point there. Maybe I should get a spear instead? "
" You know how I feel about puns."
" It's still funny though. But in all seriousness, a spear might work better. It'd have a much longer reach. And, in combination with my speed, would put me at a potential advantage."
" Right. Look, I'm sorry about going off on you and Pulmenti. It didn't help anything. As a matter of fact, I should apologize to him as well. And, before it's time for the tournament to officially begin, I'll train with you."
" Thanks, Lapisa. I know we've had a setback. But, we can still win this thing and make it off this planet. Then back to our families!"
" Right. We better find Pulmenti, and see if got us that sponsor or not. Then, it's off to make you that spear."
