There's a city smell on Atton's ship too - metal and pollution and dirt, just slightly. The navcomputer, in the centre of the lounge where they emerge from the bar, indicates via holographic display that they're on Coruscant.

Atton closes the door behind them and heads towards the training area, talking over his shoulder as he goes. "There's bottles of water on the counter if you want to bring one along. Hydration is important, I hear."

Fett grabs a bottle from the counter, and then steps over to the window to look out at Coruscant for a moment. No, he's not being sentimental...he's just curious as to whether it looks different now than it does in his time.

Of course, it doesn't, so the moment passes quickly enough, and he's at the training area just a moment or two behind Atton.

Atton grins at Fett as he enters, then returns his attention to stripping down.

"So, what are we betting this time? I'll throw eighty-thousand credits in to start off with."

From:

mandalorianheir

Fett grins as he strips down, his armor going in a careful pile to one side. "I'll see that." Beat. "And raise you twenty." A call will make it an even two hundred thousand.

From:

"I'll see that and raise you another fifty," Atton says, pulling a pair of shorts from the shelves and tugging them on. His gloves soon follow. "How about that?"

From:

mandalorianheir

Fett grabs a similar pair (he's brought some shorts from the Bar; these trips usually necessitate such clothing, he knows), and grins. "Alright, raise you fifty past that."

So a call would now have four hundred thousand credits on the table.

From:

"I'll call you on that," Atton says, "and then leave it there, because this is getting expensive for you."

He grins, hopping up onto the platform and activating the energy ropes.

From:

mandalorianheir

Fett smirks. "How generous."

And he climbs through the ropes just after Atton activates them, puts his bottle of water by the edge of the platform, and picks a corner.

From:

stuck_mynock

Atton takes his own corner, grinning. "Well, I'm a very generous guy."

He takes his own corner, lifts his hands and then, after waving a hand to indicate that they should start, rushes across the ring to Fett, throwing hard, fast punches at his face.

From:

mandalorianheir

Fett is taken a bit aback by the sudden rush - He and Atton usually spend a little more time feeling eachother out - but he reacts well enough, dodging the punches with nothing more than one shot clipping him on the cheek out of the initial volley. His response is a sweep with one of his legs aimed at tripping Atton up as he backs off to avoid the flurry.

From:

stuck_mynock

Atton trips up, falling backwards, only to land on his hands and flip himself to his feet.

He pushes forward once more, driving a punch up at Fett's chin before kicking hard at his knee.

From:

mandalorianheir

This time, the combo pays off, and Fett goes down sprawling with a wince. He's back up on his feet quickly enough, but it's pretty clear that Atton's kick at his knee has him slightly sore...not that he'd admit it.

Cue a pair of hooks coming in at Atton.

From:

stuck_mynock

Atton leans back out of the way of the hooks, grinning, then snaps forward and throws another kick at the sore knee.

From:

mandalorianheir

...and Fett goes down howling.

Ok, he actually keeps it to a muffled grunt, but the kick hits a spot on his knee and it sends him to the ground rather suddenly. On the bright side (from his perspective, at least), he's not sprawled on the ground...and he takes advantage of his position on the ground to grab at Atton's legs.

From:

stuck_mynock

Atton grunts as Fett grabs his legs, but keeps his footing stable, reaching down to grab Fett by the back of the head and start throwing punches at his face.

From:

mandalorianheir

Fett releases one leg...and then attempts to roll to one side while holding the other. It's not pretty, but with his knee acting up and punches coming down at an obnoxious rate, Fett is trying to both get free from the attacks and pull Atton off his feet...or at least get him off balance enough to get a break.

From:

stuck_mynock

If Atton had a lower centre of gravity, that might not have worked. As it is, he's tall and lithe, so the movement sends him crashing onto his back with enough force to stun him.

From:

mandalorianheir

All of the time that Atton spends on the ground stunned is just enough for Fett to get to his feet and rub his knee a bit to let the soreness there go down...Atton really hit a nerve there, so to speak.
