Description: If Quon didn't know that he involved himself in something major, he's about learn about it now. Class is in session and Sagat is the teacher. Is Quon going to be able to keep his mind on the upcoming fight?
It's a few moments before his fight in Crazy Zhin's Melon and Electrical Wiring Store. While the SNF crew are inside getting set up, Quon is outside pacing back and forth attempting to get over the nervousness he's feeling. While he loves performing for an audience, it's just that this is his first time performing for a world wide audience and he has no desire whatsoever to embarass himself.
Sweat rolls down the Chongquan fighter's forehead as he moves back and forth occasionally dabbing at his forehead like Rodney Dangerfield under incredibly hot spotlights. Soon he'll have to take the stage and he should probably check to see if he has any instructions from the crew.
The pacing stops and he reaches out for the door knob to the store.
Something Quon didn't know is since his incident in China there had been tabs being kept on him. Well two sets of tabs. While he is only a small thorn in Shadaloo's side he is still being monitored as people decide if he needs to be dealt with or not. The second set of tabs being kept is from someone in the organization with different intentions. It isn't often he finds a fighter he actually finds interesting and in a short time he found two. Odd how he does not know that both of those fighters have trained together.
Of course Antoine he isn't too worried about. He wasn't the one that was attacking Shadaloo soldiers. Of course the large Muay Thai fighter may have picked the wrong time to approach Quon given how nervous the kid is. Not like it is easy to hide either given the size of Sagat. The best he could do was wear a sweetshirt with a hood pulled up to hide his face for the most part. He is still getting alot of looks though when he steps up behind Quon and rests a large hand on his shoulder. "We should talk."
Quon freezes in place. After a few moments he slowly turns his body to see a hooded, giant of a man standing there. Truth be told, it's the first he's been in the presence of a fighter that was so significantly bigger both in height and muscle mass than him. Needless to say, he quickly goes from just nervous to outright unsettled in a heart beat.
He takes a deep breath to regain his composure and give him a chance to attempt to hide the fact that he was indeed rattled. "Wait. Are you the person I'll be facing for my fight today?"
Obviously no one told him about his match up yet.
It is a bit of an intimidating sight. At least in the long run Quon doesn't know the fighter that is standing before him. That might just make him far more worse off than unsettled for all he knows. That single eye narrows some and he shakes his head. "I cannot afford the luxury to be performing for fun these days." he says quietly then looks around. "I just stopped by to just let you know you that you have gotten on the bad side of some dangerous people." Nevermind the fact that Sagat doesn't mention he is one of those dangerous people. At least not at the moment.
He does withdraw his hand though and folds his massive arms over his chest as he continues to stare down at Quon. "You have skill from what I saw, but those gentlemen you were fighting on the border of China and Thailand are just the lowest of the low. You might be in for some hard times if the ones in charge start to consider you more than just a tiny threat."
It's mainly because Sagat's huge frame just seems to block out the sun, that he can't really see any distinguishing facial features under the hood. When the bigger man mentions that he saw the fight near the border his eyes widen in shock. "Wait... You saw that?"
There is a short pause. "I kinda figured if they had an army and that type of weaponry. It's just those soldiers had already made their point. The man was unconscious and needed medical help and yet they still opened fire. Not on me. On /him./ On someone who couldn't defend himself while conscious let alone defend himself in his condition. I couldn't let that stand."
Though while he is still rattled to the point where it takes all of his personal willpower to keep his hands from shaking. "As long as our paths don't cross though, I shouldn't be anything more than a tiny threat. I have too many other things to worry about to playing hero to everybody but I can't stand seeing someone doing horrible things to those who can't defend themselves just because they can."
There is a bit of a smile that forms under that hood and Sagat just nods when he hears things. "I commend you for trying to help. Do not get me wrong." he says and he glances over his shoulder again briefly as if he is making sure no one is spying in on their conversation before that single eye focuses on Quon again. "You delayed transport of important equipment by several hours and in all honesty you would have probably been tortured and then killed if not for me digging you out from under a pile of corpses and dragging you to a hospital."
That is when he hunkers down and gets in closer to where Quon can finally see Sagat's face. It certainly doens't look like one that belongs to someone that would take time to save a person. "All I can tell you is get stronger. Be prepared at all times. Next time I might be around to help you." he then straightens back up and grimaces. "Or in another case perhaps I will be the one fighting you. Pray that won't happen."
Quon listens especially to the stuff he probably wouldn't have been privy to if it wasn't for this particular conversation. In fact Quon is smart enough to know that he'll learn more from listening than actually speaking and it becomes crystal clear that he had ended up stumbling on something much bigger than himself. It completely shakes him up for a moment.
When Sagat hunkers down, Quon finally recognizes the hooded man. After all, he saw the footage of Ryu vs Sagat the moment that he came back to civilization from the temple. Sagat revealing himself as not only the man who saved him but revealing that his lot was actually with the people in command of the those soldiers he fought(though possibly not of his own will) through mentioning the possibility of being the one he may end up fighting makes the realization that he stepped in something really big hit home in way that he never thought would happen.
"Thanks for the advice and also thanks for saving me. Hopefully our paths won't cross again if those are the two possible scenarios for us meeting. Anyway, I have a fight to get ready for. Take care." It would appear that Quon will have a lot to think about. Will it actually distract him from the fight ahead of him?
It doesn't seem like Sagat is going to take time to follow and press the matter. He may have not been the most tactful in explaining things, but he was doing it the only way he knew how. "Yes, let us hope if our paths cross it will not be a situation where we are enemies." At least the kid isn't totally ignorant as to what he got himself into. He did his best not to divulge too much. If people are watching it would probably make things worse in the long run.
He stands there for a few moments and waits for Quon to disappear through the door he was about to open initially before he turns about and starts to stalk off. A shame he didn't have time to stand back and watch the fight. He had dirty work to deal with soon and his helicopter is waiting.
