[Heather squeezes between the buffet table and a particularly rotund reporter covering the post-Tournament celebrations, and continues to weave her way through the crowd. Looking for familiar faces, although in this case, a few in particular. Like the guy who knocked her out of the competition. SHE WANTS TIPS ON HOW NOT TO LOSE NEXT TIME.]
[Feel free to say hi. ... Or make fun of her for getting literally dropped off the edge of the platform by her opponent in the second round. WHATEVER WORKS.]
[She draws up next to him, grinning and ducking her head under the pseudo-noogie.]
Hey! Congratulations!
[Her pride still stings a little, but it faded a lot once Ironhide had gone on to completely waste the rest of the competition. No one could make fun of her for losing now! ... Well no, they could. Just not as badly.]
That kid? Yeah... didn't know he was actually a fighter. Learn something new every day, I guess. [She sort of wishes she'd had a chance to fight some other people before being knocked out, buuuut c'est la vie.]
[Still, she wrestled her way over to Ironhide through the crowd for a REASON, so she straightens up, pounding a fist into her palm.]
But HEY. You totally owned me out there. Where'd I go wrong?
[Heather can be a sore loser, but under the circumstances... she really DOES wanna learn, even if it's just taking a LITTLE something away from this whole thing. So she straightens up and folds her arms.]
Show me.
Later after the party.
[Since... yeah it's sort of his victory party and all, she's not gonna try and drag him away from that.]
The one up on the platform was the wake-up call. This one can be the learning experience. ... If you don't mind being patient with me. [... Even if a sparring ring is a slightly unorthodox classroom.]

[A... really... crowded party. Sheesh.]

[He looks up in time to see her approach, and absently drags his knuckles over the top of her head. Giant robot noogie.]

[He gives her a look, like this should be obvious.]
You came at me. You did not wait to judge what I was capable of.

But if I'd done that, you would've just stood there all day! I had to do something.
[There are lots of somethings out there for you to have done besides CHARGE, Heather.]

The warmup rooms they had set up by the waiting area earlier. No one'll be using them now that the tournament's over.
