After her loss to River Chance, Tahti slowly made her way to the locker room, sighing to herself as she did so. Her wins and losses were all over the place, and while she tried not to let it bother her as long as the fans were enjoying themselves, she’d be lying to everyone if she wasn’t at least a little honest about how it made her feel. She was holding her abdomen due to it still hurting some from taking River’s knees. As she thought about it, though, she didn’t know of anyone, other than maybe Tren from The Kingdom on Collision, that could take knees to the gut and not be hurting after the fact. The Finnish native sighed to herself once more as she got to the locker room door, giving a passing co-worker a small smile before going inside the room.
Tahti Kuu: The only thing I want right now is to get a shower and go to the airport. Sleeping next to Nico, in our bed, is going to be the best feeling. I hate sleeping in the hotel...even if it’s only for a night or two.
The red-haired beauty smiled a little as she thought about getting back home. She grabbed what she needed from her little cubby type area, including a water-friendly BlueTooth speaker, and headed to the showers connected to the women’s locker room, thankful that she was able to get her shower there. It wasn’t long before the water began running and rock music, mostly bands from Finland though others played as well, was blasting throughout the two rooms. Immediately Tahti could be heard singing along with the songs.
Tahti Kuu: Morning light hurts your eyes
But that's another thing
Nothing really matters
Behind the shades of blue...
Between the music and the shower, the redhead didn’t hear the locker room door open and close. The person that entered the locker room had their face covered but had the body frame of a male. They were carrying a large bouquet of flowers and reading the names among the cubby type area until stopping in front of Tahti’s. The man put the flowers on the floor against the wood of the spot, his eyes darting towards the shower area as he heard the woman sing. He shook his head, seemingly in disgust, before exiting the locker room quickly yet also making sure he wasn’t spotted. It wasn’t long after the exit that Tahti exited the shower area, her hair still wet and hanging down against her back.
Tahti Kuu: What in the world...these weren’t here when I went into the shower.
The woman looked around the empty room for a moment before she put her dirty clothes, gear included, into the spare bag she had strictly for that reason. When she picked up the bouquet of flowers, a little card fell out. There was a smile on Tahti’s face, thinking they were a random, just because type of thing from Nico, but when she read the card, the smile fell from her face. The Finnish beauty took a closer look at the flowers, finally realizing that the majority of them had to do with the folklore, magic aspect, and superstitions aspect of Finland….something she had always loved though she had only shared that with her friend, Demoni. With now shaking hands, the redhead slowly raised the card to eye level once more and read it out loud.
Tahti Kuu: Let’s hope the flowers with protective magic protect you better than they ever did Him. You won’t be able to escape these demons.
The card fell from the woman’s shaking hands as did the bouquet of flowers. She quickly gathered her stuff, stuffing it all into the larger duffel bag that she used for traveling to and from shows. In a minute or less, the beauty had all of her stuff, and she carefully eyed the fallen card and flowers. Slowly she grabbed the card and shoved it into her duffel bag to look at later then turned on her heel to speed walk out of the locker room and arena. With that little note, she didn’t want to stay there any longer than she needed to, and the need, as well as want, to be back home in, Nico’s arms, had grown stronger within her.
