**Arl leaves the arena, heading to Old Elexia to rest and recuperate. She then remembers the dress... right, she'll... promise to get it fixed. Is that repair man back yet? ... Apparently not. Promise it is.
The old man doesn't much mind, fortunately, although he has many questions. Like "why don't you come by more often, eh?", "What ever happened to that Colt fella?", and many more.
Still, the rest goes well and Arl returns a week later ready for action. Cee insists she puts the little bracelet she got from the Greeven tourney on her leg this time, although she does so with no intention of using it.**
Ringmaster - "I was wondering when you would be back girl... You know, it's been months since anyone dared take on tier three... But by all means sign up and head in. I can have a beast prepped in thirty."
**Legato paused just outside the words emblazoned above the Pits, lightly fingering the last bottle of elixir he had left. Well, in for a penny in for a pound.
With that thought, Legato up append the syringe and injected himself with the Excellence Serum.**
Ringmaster - "You know it's been a while since we've had a tier four challenger... Seems like we should advertise it... You willing to wait a couple of days for the betting to settle?"
Ringmaster -"Well we have a fine inn set up behind the bar area, you're free to stay there on the house until I get it sorted, just tell Barkle I said so."
Arl finds out she has to go through the bar to get to the inn. Above the entrance to the bar hung a sign depicting two crossed swords with the words "The Cut" on the blades. Inside she finds a nicely furnished bar with plenty of room and plenty of patrons. A barmaid saw the girl standing there and stopped by.
Arl - "No thank you. The ringmaster told me to tell Barkle I can stay at the inn on the house while betting is getting sorted out - do you know where I can find him?"
Cee - "How does staying at the inn normally work, anyhow?"
At the end of the bar a greel stood on a stool, smoking a cigar. The little man had several scars on his face and was dressed in comfortable yet practical leathers and he had two machinist pistols strapped to his chest. He nodded at Arl as she approached.
Legato's mind and body awakened with the injection. His instincts and understanding expanding.
Legato gains a level in all his leveled abilities/techniques, in this case man-at-arms and intuitive analysis. All his leveling requirements are pushed back a level. (meeting the requirements for level 7 will now grant you level 8, and so on.) and those skills gain a to be revealed 11th level.

**Legato couldn't stop himself from grinning a bit, spending a moment just starting at his hands as he flexed his fingers experimentally. Good gods, he felt like he could do anything.**
**He flipped his carving dagger into his hand, striding over to the archway with a gleam in his eye. The swordsman made a few practiced strokes, and in that moment the a subtle change overtook those around him. They could sense Legato's awakening too, in a way; the man just seemed stronger, abler, and more dominant than he had moments ago.
Resheathing his knife, Legato continued on into the arena and made his way towards the Ringmaster. Yes, this was going to be just fine. Just fine indeed.**
Barkle gave her a queer sort of look and then chuckled.
Barkle - "You really don't know do you? Well no I suppose you don't... Only three men have ever even made it this far and Brutus took them down so quick it wasn't a fight so much as a massacre."
Go ahead and run, you'll only die tired.
