He'd made the eggs for her to speed things up so that they could get to the arena, unaware it meant more to her than that.
While she observed trying to learn new moves and the movement of wraith in a fight in general, Todd was observing differently, seeing what needed practice and what the wraith was good with. He'd been about to tell her that unless she was okay with getting some more broken bones, a full out fight with a wraith was not the best of ideas, but quickly saw she was kidding and chuckled, chuffing in reply before turning his attention back on the fight.
Hand-to-hand combat might be rare these days, it was a skill set worth ensuring didn't go lax. Most of the moves the pair made in the fight were good, occasionally one slipped up and paid the price with a punch or a kick. Eventually, one dominated the other and when the loser dropped to his knees, the attacker stopped, helped his exhausted and defeated comrade to his feet and they went to go clean themselves up. Another wraith from the sidelines followed, perhaps to report what he saw as a spectator.
Kenny came in next, along with two other wraith. Like the fight Rogue had witnessed with Cody, this one had weapons.
They started without so much as a "go!" from anyone, the second in command flying forward with his sword and the clang of metal on metal filled the arena.
