[LB appreciates Soma trying to justify her own bad bet, even if she really wondered if he was piling on the flattery a little thick there. LB was normally decently prone to it otherwise, but tactics was something she took some pride in. Still, she manages a sheepish smile, waving off his comments in a good-mattered fashion.]
Ah, perhaps I wanted to believe in the underdog story? Haha? Whether or not you picked the stronger fighter is still a mistake on my part. Or perhaps I wanted to believe he started shit for a good reason?
[She raises a brow as the Shuten girl delivers the final punch, sending the Sutoku man to the ground, but otherwise doesn't look all that bothered. At least these two chose to fight each other, after all.]
But it seems that he was just an idiot after all.
[It was disappointing, really. Not because she lost a bet, but as someone who had a widely cynical view of the world, she really wanted to believe in some kind of miracle to occur. But alas, it seemed she wasn't going to find it here.
She realizes that perhaps she's getting too deep into thought, though, and covers it with a forced smile.]
It's kind of you to say so though. [About as soon as she says that much, though, she looks on with more concern than she did for the entirety of the fight as Soma seems to struggle with the napkin for a bit. Once he's calmed, though, LB also relaxes.]
You're sure? You don't to go outside or something? [Remembering the terms of their bet, though, she adds:] I'm not trying to duck out of our agreement, for the record.
