twcblts asked: " i've seen ya around, " how fortuitous japan's state side portion of g1 climax tour would lead the bullet club to the same place as a show for the other place. " — gotta say, y'er impressive. " feeds you riplynch w/ bullet becks
rhea's eyes slide toward becky at the sound of her voice, her posture remaining relaxed despite the unmistakable challenge that always seemed to hang in the air whenever two names with enough gravity crossed paths. one eyebrow arches slightly as she takes in the sight of the bullet club star standing across from her, and for a moment she simply lets the silence settle between them. the corner of her mouth curls upward into a slow, knowing smirk before she finally pushes herself off the wall and squares her shoulders. ❝ well, would you look at that. ❞ she echoes, a low chuckle escaping her. ❝ guess this business has a funny way of making paths cross. one minute i'm focused on my own schedule, my own matches, my own problems, and the next i'm hearing somebody from bullet club's been keeping tabs on me. can't say i'm surprised, though. people tend to notice when you're at the top of your game. ❞
her gaze remains locked on becky's, unwavering and self-assured. ❝ and coming from you, i'll take that as a compliment. you've built quite the name for yourself, so if you're calling me impressive, that actually means something. but trust me, what you've seen so far is only part of it. most people look at me and see the championships, the headlines, the reputation. they see the confidence and figure they've got me all worked out. what they don't realize is that every time someone thinks they've seen my best, i find another level. that's why i'm still here, and that's why people keep talking about me wherever i go. ❞ the smirk deepens as she folds her arms across her chest. ❝ but now you've got me curious, becky. you didn't walk over here just to flatter me. nobody in this business does anything without a reason. so what's really goin'g on? you looking for a conversation, a partnership, or are you sizing me up because you're thinking about what it'd be like standing across the ring from me? ❞ rhea's eyes gleam with amusement. ❝ because whichever one it is, i'm interested in hearing the answer. ❞
