Atlainti had gone back to watching some matches in the next rank of tournament fights, looking for familiar faces in the rounds that came before her own. The last match, however, hand been one where she'd been gripping the edge of her stea her her hands, the intense displays of power from both sides enough to amaze and cause the Namekian's breath to catch in throat.
She could still remember th blaze of light and the cloud of smoke, the memory pushing her to get through the halls at a quick clip as she tried to locate where Limax was in the infirmary.

Limax was resting in a bed. The injuries at this point were healed up thanks to his body's regenerative abilities and healing tanks. But the energy drain had taken a major toll on him. His whole body felt like it had been made of lead, and moving was difficult even if he wanted to move. But right now he was just zoning out in a daze, not quite able to sleep. But not his usual alert self.
It felt like he was in limbo, or stretched far to long. When the door to his infirmary opened it took a great deal of effort for him to shift his head to look toward the door and see who had arrived.

Okara entered, a doctor scrambling out of the way (having been trying to keep him from the room). His hands were in his pockets, and he would stomp inside.
"You. Namekian. Too Strong. Explain."

It may have been a different planet, but the infirmary was about what she expected: pristine, neat, and sterile. Atlanti looked from the room to Limax and felt her shoulders ease in relief. It was good to see him in one piece still, though word was already being said that he'd been on the brink. She knew they had the ability to regenerate, but if it was that much of a energy drain?
Well, at least now she knew.
"Hey Limax." Her words were quiet, not wanting to break the atmosphere of the room. Right up until the Sayain from earlier arrived, anyway. She could hear the disruption before he entered, the doctor trying to discourage the other visitor. She blinked when he walked in, stepping to the side only slightly. He wasn't talking to her, that was much was obvious.

His mouth had already been open to respond to Atlanti when Okara had burst into his room. Admittedly the last person he had expected to see. Though having any visitors was unexpected. Atlanti didn't know him from anything and yet she was here. And Okara, well he'd been the one to put him here. He had assumed he'd be out celebrating.
It took him a moment to process what was going on however, the fog in his head was thick and showed no signs of dissipating in the immediate future. With a another show of valiant effort he managed to shift in his bed enough that the pillow against the wall helped to prop him up into something akin to sitting.
"Hello..."
He said, his words thick, almost like he'd just woken up. His eyes slowly shifted to Okara before speaking again. His words slow and deliberate.
"Not strong enough."
If he had the strength he didn't know if he'd laugh or clench a fist in anger. But either way the fact remained that he had lost fair and square. He just wasn't strong enough yet. But even lasting as long as he had against something like that gave him hope for his future.

"Stronger than the three of you were combined against me before. What's changed?"
He stared, then saw the lady. Being an old fashioned guy he was suddenly caught off guard, and stood straight.
"O-oh. Sorry. I didn't know he had- I'm Okara. Limaxs' uhhhhhhhhh....." He blinked. "....friend? Or something."

Her lips quirked into a smile at the greeting, turning her attention to the other guest with mild interest. He was, after all, the one who put Limax in the infirmary, but he also didn't seem like a bad person, so she wasn't pushing him out if Limax wasn't going to. Patients had privileges.
"Hello." She also straightened when she was noticed, the polite and friendly smile returning on reflex as she lifted a hand and waved a little. that faint hint of a blush returned as this one struggled to find the right word.
"Or something," she agreed with a tiny laugh. She dind't know if Limax thought she was a friend to make that claim. "I'm Atlanti."

Just arriving in the intermarry she was looking to get some fresh bandages as the gash from fighting Wasabi was refusing to heal. Of course, if she continued to train and sweat, it was not going to heal like she wanted it too. It continued to minimally bleed through the scab it created and the bruise that was around that area bled deep and gave her a good dark eye too. So she was looking pretty warn out despite her chipper mood.
She ended up hearing some familiar voice and looked about the room. "Oi, Limax is that you?"

Words were flying around him almost faster than he could keep up. With a new voice seeming to join in every few seconds. He didn't understand why so many people were showing up all of a sudden. Through the haze he tried to grab some words to latch onto. The word friend. And Atlanti being there brought his mind back to socializing in the plaza where Wasabi had asked if she was his girlfriend.
A term that had yet to be explained to him. But the Saiyan seemed unsure as well. Yes, that meant they were on the same page. At least with the pistons that were currently going in Limax's head.
"He's.... not... my girlfriend."
He said, unsure if it was to reassure the others, or stating fact. Because even if Okara was his girlfriend, he would feel uncomfortable declaring that until the term had been explained to him.

Okara turned to Limax, ignoring the newcomer for a moment and now unable to respond due to rage. He'd raise his hand, an orb of Ki appearing at the end as he pointed it at Limax.
"You fuckin' take that back."
All he'd heard was "He's..nmm....my girlfriend...".
Okara would kill for less.

"No!" Surprisingly angry, Atlanti shot to her feet the moment the dark-haired fighter pointed the ball of energy at Limax. She stood partially in front of him, brows knit together.
"This is an infirmary, not a place for fighting!" It was probably dumb to do it, but she grew up knowing places like this. The people here needed to heal, to recover. They did not need to be kept here longer by a second round.
And then the thing Limax said actually happened, and Atlanti just sort of twitched.
"I didn't think..." There was no way to say that safely, so she shut her mouth instead with a nearly audible click of her teeth. Between the two, she missed seeing the blonde woman at first, but looked at her with something between exasperation and worry. A friend, maybe/ Or someone else? She sounded friendly enough.
"Sorry it's a bit hectic in here."

Rhona came in on a strange conversation between Limax talking about girlfriends and then seeing what she assumed to be a Saiyan about to attack the wounded Namekian... not to mention a new Namekian?
She must have had her eyes about as wide as a deer looking at head lights before shaking her head. Snapping back to the matter at hand. "Yo...ah no problem... seems like I might have come at a bad time of course I almost did not think Limax would still be in here after what happened in the tourney."
She looked back and forth between the two men. Raising her arms to cradle the back of her head and lean on one leg."Of course if we are looking to solve some... ah... lovers triangle here. heading off the Tourney grounds seems like a good idea, just sayin." She grinned.

Everything continued to move as a blur around him. Words blending together, other than Okara howling as he demanded that Limax take that back. He was able to understand that he'd somehow offended the Saiyan by denying that he was his girlfriend. However he also felt the warmth of the Ki being aimed at him. There was a shift of movement as someone or something moved to shield him.
With a grunt he weakly reached out toward Atlanti's direction. Intending to push her out of the way, but lacking the strength to do much more than lay his hand on her shoulder. And trying to power up sent his Ki flickering around him for a moment before sputtering out, his body wracking with spasms of pain as it tried to draw upon energy it just didn't have. And for the first time since any of this commotion had begun Limax moved quickly. His body jerking into itself as his body curled up in pain. Any words the others may have said were drowned out to him by his cry of pain mixed with the throbbing in his head. He could swear that he could hear blood vessels bursting inside his head.

Okara, neck jerking a little backward at Atlanti's interference, blinked a little. He was slightly taken aback, then after looking at Limax, would give a little smile.
"Ohhhh...you meant SHE'S your girlfriend...haha my bad..."
He'd turn to Rhona, blinking.
"Lovers....? Look, I barely know these two. I just beat him up and was curious how he got so buff in such a short time. Ain't no lovin' going on here."

"There's no triangle." Atlanti shook her head. Why? Why did people keep assuming that? Atlanti blinked, distracted by the other woman's talk of a love triangle. It took a moment for her to realize the other woman was - hopefully - joking with Ki simmering in front of her and everything else going on.
She paused at the hand on her shoulder, heavy but unable to move her aside. In the end, the smaller Namekian didn't move, frowning at the Ki the Sayain was gathering if it hadn't dispersed yet. Right up until the sharp movement and cry of pain from behind her. She turned on her heel, distressed at the sight of Limax in that much pain. She looked back at Rhona, trusting her to be the more level-headed of the other two.
"Can you please get the doctor?" She didn't know how to help that; most people she knew wouldn't try to power up when they were already pretty much running off of nothing. But another warrior doing so didn't surprise her. She shook her head at Okara, still uncertain if he would get violent again. Arguing the girlfriend thing wasn't a priority at the moment anymore than arguing her point on how what he had done was wrong in all kinds of ways.
"Chill out or take it outside when he's better."
