Asterius huffed again. It had little to do with him being bothered by anything around him, really, more to do with how his nose was made. "Horknath. His name's Horknath. I'm Asterius", he answered, crossing his arms back on his chest when Carleen had gotten up. "I'll tell him." He stepped to Carleen's right, intending to reach the rugby field - but felt the need to add something else. "If you intend to ever approach him, please be mindful. He's very shy."

Carleen held back a bitter smile. "It's not the first time I regret that the whole school knows my name, then. Alright. Thank you, Asterius." She brought back a loose strand of hair behind her ear, and finally went to the printers, sighing softly. Truth be told, she felt a bit bummed about knowing that she probably couldn't approach a cute guy like him.
Oh, well. She still had Spike's owner she could get to know, if she ever managed to find him.
Since she had a bit of time before her classes, she went to hang her wanted posters all over the central areas of uni.
Hopefully someone would call Selena soon!

Most of the collective sports teams usually had the afternoon free for practice, and it wasn't uncommon for them to cross path in the lockers, showers, or even see each other from afar from their respective fields.
Their encounters were rarely triggered by a loose football being kicked way too hard out of the football field and into the rugby field, however. But no matter how exasperating Theseus Mishra could be, his teammates had to agree on the fact that he was quite good on the field. Still. Being the best player of the team did not save him from the struggle of having to send the balls he sent in the middle of the scary rugby team.
With his helmet off and under his arm, Theseus laughed and ran a hand through his hair while rushing to said field. Him, scared of rugby players? Please. Football was as violent as their sports if not more, given that they had to wear literal armor bits to protect themselves-

"GO, ASTERIUS, RUN FASTER!", "C'MON HORKNATH, YOU CAN DO IT!" Whenever the rugby team got together for practice and the coach decided they were to split to simulate a game, Horknath and Asterius were never, and I say never, placed on the same team. They were two destructive forces to be reckoned with, and their teammates, for how big and sturdy they were, could rarely best Horknath's powerful tackles, or stop the Bull of Minos when he was charging towards the end of the field with the ball secured in his arms.
Usually their opposing teams needed all of their players to tackle them on the ground.
And right now, as their respective half-teams cheered them on, Asterius was trying to outrun his own brother in order to stop him from making it to a touchdown. And usually, those kind of confrontations were already quite a spectacle to watch and unpredictable enough to be a show on their own.
The football that came flying out of nowhere and got Horknath straight on the face was new, though.
Asterius didn't manage to stop on time to avoid colliding heavily against the half-orc, who had stopped, now with two balls in his hands and a half-closed eye (that's where the smaller ball had hit him), and they both ended up tumbling on the grass.

"Sorry", Asterius grunted, getting up first and helping Horknath up. "Wasn't expecting you to stop so suddenly. What happened?" Now they were both full of grass and mud, great.

"I have no idea", Horknath grunted, already feeling his eye starting to swell a little. Ugh, that was going to leave a bruise. "I think someone on the football side of the field was trying to be a showoff and over-threw this-" He squinted, seeing someone run up to them. "Ah, they're coming to fetch it."

"Don't mind me, brute forces of natures," Theseus yelled from afar as he entered the rugby field, yelling first at the rest of the team. "I'm here to retrieve my ball - hopefully I didn't double score all the way from the football field," he added with a smug smile. That is, until he probably ended up in front of Asterius and Horknath.
Mostly Asterius, whose frame was intimidating, even for him. He quickly looked at him up and down, and lost track of his boastful speech for a split second.

Asterius snorted - this time, out of irritation. Who did that idiot think he was, talking so loudly and like he was above the lot of them? Rugby was a brutal sport, that much was true, but as his coach liked to remind them every time he found a chance "it's a sport for brutes played by gentlemen". Which he couldn't say about football. He silently gestured for Horknath to pass him the football, and then waited for the other man to approach them and lose his bravado, like it usually happened.
"If you call hitting someone's face with an over-shoot 'double scoring', then congratulations", he commented with a rough voice.

Against all odds, Theseus let out a grin. "Why, thank you. I hope your friend is alright, though, my hits are known to be quite powerful." He extended his hands to retrieve his football, but paused halfway through, with a slight smile on his lips. "Say, Bull-man. I have a feeling I know you, but I'd remember challenging someone like you before. What's your name?"

Before Horknath could try to say something on the lines of "Well actually my eye kind of hurts but I'm ok I guess", Asterius preceded him - even though the other man's answer had kind of shocked him into silence for a second. Apparently sarcasm was on his 'hard to get' list. "You got him in the eye. You should apologize", he grunted. "And my name is Asterius." He pushed the ball back into the extended hand without further comments. He too felt like they had already met - but seeing as he didn't remember too much, it had probably not been a nice encounter.

Theseus blinked a few times at being so easily dismissed by Asterius, but he finally brought his attention on Horknath. "Oh! It's getting swollen, yes. My apologies indeed - It seems I might have shot this one too hard. Thankfully for you, I'm always carrying a first-aid kit around. Follow me to the lockers, I'll treat your eye right away." Although his priorities were a bit messed up, Theseus' parents had stressed just how important it was to fix his mistakes. And his father had been even more insistant on the necessity for him to know how to treat any facial bruise, given that they literally made money out of his perfect face. A trip to the infirmary took sometimes too long, so he needed to be prepared.
He also figured he might get a chance to ask this orc-guy a few informations about this 'Asterius' fellow if he came with him.

Horknath seemed a little hesitant. He threw a glance to Asterius, who just shrugged. "Go. You know how annoying it gets if you don't get it fixed right away", he said, much more kind towards his brother. "I'll tell the coach. Practice was almost over anyway, we'll just run a few laps and call it a day." He threw one last glance at Theseus and turned around, to go have a word with their team - the entirety of which was trying to understand what was happening from far away.

Horknath turned towards Theseus again. "Alright then. Uh, thanks", he added, a little embarrassed.

"No need to thank me, orc-man! It's the least I can do. I know just how bothersome it can be to get hit in your eye - happened to me two weeks ago!" Anyone looking close enough at Theseus, especially after his shower, might have noticed he actually wore concealer around his left eye. Of course, Horknath wouldn't know.
Theseus started to jog in front of Horknath towards the sports building. Perhaps the rugby player would actually notice the huge "MISHRA" written on his football shirt, and connect the dots between that obnoxious, loud blonde guy and Carleen.
Or maybe not. After all, he already had one swollen eye to deal with.

Theseus made a point to kick the football back on its rightful field, yell ad his teammates that he'd be right back and that they'd better make him proud, before he entered the locker rooms with Horknath.

Thankfully for him, Theseus had been quite serious about his first-aid skills, and he indeed had everything needed to tend to his eye. He laid his helmet on a bench, and went to wash his hands quite diligently before he opened his locker and grabbed everything he needed. "Alright- what's your name, pal? Are you friend with that Asterius guy?"

Yes, Horknath was definitely too preoccupied with his eye to notice the very obvious surname on the back of Theseus' shirt. Had he managed to see it, he would have probably had a serious nervous breakdown. Three facts all connected to Carleen Mishra in the span of two days was definitely too much for this poor half-orc.

He blinked with his good eye a little as he sat down on the benches close to the lockers, waiting for the other man to come back with his first-aid kit. "I'm Horknath", he answered. "Asterius is my brother. And you are...?"

"Theseus," the blonde guy replied with a wide grin. "They call me the King of Athens on the field- surely you've heard of me before!" He applied a product on a piece of cotton and dabbed it gently on Horknath's eye, actually mindful with his movements. "You and your brother seem quite sturdy. Are you in any other sports aside from rugby? Montain-climbing? Wrestling, perhaps?" He was talking fast, barely allowing Horknath to recover from one question to the next.

"Ah - yes, I think I have", Horknath answered awkwardly, letting Theseus work on his eye. It was impossible to be into sports - or in this particular University even - without having heard of Theseus. Whether for his excellency and prowess as the lead player of their football team, for the streak of broken hearts he regularly left behind him or for just how loud and obnoxious he was. Uh. So this was him, then. Well. He sure was something, alright. "Uh-", he let out, trying to find an opening in Theseus' ocean of words so that he could answer. "-not really? We like to go on runs, I guess. And to do general training in the gym. I have participated to some cross-country races some times, and Asterius regularly gets invited over by the wrestling team to participate to some of their matches, but we hardly have the time to really get into anything else aside from rugby." He seemed quite proud. "We are the two head players, we need to always be present."

Theseus distractedly nodded, focusing on taking care of Horknath's eye for a bit. His interest definitely got peaked when he heard that Asterius did some wrestling. He scoffed, however focusing first on the last part of Horknath's answer. "Ah, I get you! It's sometimes quite troublesome to be the best player in your team. I barely find time for my various hobbies aside from practice and studying but, well! My teammates' motivation depends solely on my presence, unfortunately." He grinned. "But you said your brother is into wrestling, then! I too occasionally spar with the wrestling team. I'll challenge him as soon as I can, I bet he must be quite the worthy opponent!"

Troublesome, spar, worthy opponent - Theseus really did talk like the medieval fiction books Horknath sometimes liked to read during his downtime. Not that he liked those, mind you, he just read them to be able to rant afterwards. The plot was terrible, the characterization shallow, the historical inaccuracies awful to get through, and let's not talk about the romance- but I digress. Bottom of the line was, Theseus talked like a printed book, kind of pompously, and Horknath did not know how to answer to him. "Ah. Yeah, no one in the wrestling team has managed to ground him yet. It's kind of like trying to move a brick wall." The same went for him, honestly, but he had never liked fighting-oriented sports too much. And Asterius only participated because they always begged him to.

"An undefeated fighter!" Theseus' eyes were definitely sparkling. "I shall find him right away and challenge him, then!" Horknath had definitely seen right through Theseus. He had read many medieval books, that had shaped his speech over the years. He had mainly borrowed them from Carleen and only read the dialogues though, to be honest.
"Regarding your eye, you should be fine. You should ask for this at a pharmacy on your way home tonight," he said, showing one of his balms, before he paused. "Or. I lend it to you." He grinned. That would give him an excuse to see Asterius again in case he didn't answer positively to his challenge! He actually handed the balm over to Horknath.

Horknath blinked - or did whatever was closest to blinking that he could do, with his freshly-treated eye. "... thanks", he managed to let out after a moment of hesitation, accepting the balm Theseus was offering. "Very nice of you", he said then, feeling the need to say it. Well, this guy was quite the loudmouth, but he wasn't that bad after all. "As for Asterius - I don't understand why you want to fight him that bad, but I'd suggest you do that before he reaches the showers, or he won't be too keen on accepting anything that would get physical", he added.

"You mean he'd agree to do it tonight? Why, I must go and find him right now then!" Theseus was grinning, and he put his helmet back into his own locker. "Thank you, Horknath! I'll go now and find him, then! Don't forget - balm every two hours on the first day, then keep applying regularly." He finally turned around and ran out of the lockers, running back to the rugby field. Again without leaving Horknath any time to recover from whatever he had just said. His mind was set on one goal: finding Asterius and challenging him! He needed that guy to become his rival!

Horknath was left there, sitting on the bench with the balm box in his hands, completely stunned. He had honestly thought that theseus intended on challenging Asterius this same evening anyway, so he had thought there wouldn't be a problem if he shared that little information with him.
Oh no. Had he just sold his brother over to a maniac?

Asterius was actually walking towards the showers, when and if Theseus would find him. As he had anticipated, their coach had made the whole team run some laps around the field, and now he was not only dirty and smelling of grass, but also disgustingly sweaty.
Which is not pleasant in the least, when every inch of your body - or almost - is covered with a thin layer of fur.
He huffed, breathing heavily as he tried to wipe some sweat away from his brow with his shirt, after getting it off of himself.

"Asterius!" Theseus called out, fortunately managing to stop him before he entered the building. He was grinning from ear to ear, just like a child who'd be promised a trip to their favourite theme park on the very next day. He was actually running towards the other player, and only slowed down when he got near enough, to stop and point a finger at him.
"I wish to challenge you to a wrestling match! Your brother told me you've been undefeated so far, and I've been looking for a worthy opponent for a fight for a while now! Let us duel!"

Asterius stared at Theseus running towards him like one of the heroines of those romance movies his mother and Horknath liked so much until he was standing right in front of him, smile so brilliant it could blind a man.
And he stared again. Blinking. "..." He looked down at himself, then again at Theseus. What was there about him that invited for a duel, exactly? The people of the wrestling team were one thing - they liked to fight with him because he was big and strong, and they needed to exercise against a hard-to-beat opponent, but. What was this guy's deal?
"... what, right now? After we've trained for the whole afternoon?", he started, frowning a little. "Here? On the grass?" He crossed his arms on his chest. "I don't think that would be a satisfying match." He was mostly trying to deter the other man, let's be honest.

Under any normal circumstances, Theseus would have protested. Bargained, even! True warriors needed to be on the ready at all times, and he certainly wouldn't shy away from dueling Asterius here and now. But- for once, he listened. And for once, someone made he see reason through his eagerness.
A satisfying match. So Asterius and he were on the same wavelength! Although his enthusiasm had deflated just a little bit, he puffed his chest again, and grinned at the other man. "Alright, then. When and where would we manage to get a satisfying match together? Perhaps should we go on the sports ring? I'm fine with any locations, as long as we spar with our bodies only."

So he wasn't going to change his mind then. Well, fine then. Asterius guessed there would be no harm in humoring Theseus. Not too much anyway - besides, he had the distinct feeling that this particular guy would not take a no for an answer, and he would have rather not have him follow him around in the showers until he managed to get a yes out of him.
That would have been awkward.
"I'm scheduled to be present at the ring for training tomorrow in the evening. If you manage to talk the professor who's managing the place into letting you in for the same day and time, I'm open for any challenge", he grunted.

"Tomorrow evening! I see! Then I'll talk to Mrs. Spencer tonight and ask to be allowed in at the same time. Is Five okay? I suppose you're getting there after rugby practice?" Theseus was grinning again. He knew the wrestling coach quite well. And she knew him too! This had nothing to do with the fact that she had had to get the university director - a certain Mr. Hades - to intervene and personally ask Theseus to not come unless having requested it at least a day before. And only if he got a positive answer, too.
He had been politely requested to focus on one sports only, and not bother the other clubs.

Asterius snorted. "I never train on the same day I need to be on the ring", he answered. "Cramming too much fatigue is deleterious, for a serious athlete." This said, of course he would have been doing some warm-up exercises with his coach's assistance before he went in the sports ring. He wrapped his soaked shirt around his shoulders. "Five is fine with me. I'll be there." He started to walk again towards the changing rooms where the showers were, unsure of whether Theseus had anything else to tell him.
