::It was a rather confusing finish to their match, double champion and whatnot, but Crystal had to keep up with promises made in a PM she sent Mercedes' way over Twitter. A request to meet her here at a local cafe where they could talk out their differences and perhaps put this lingering dislike to rest. Of course, the request was delivered a few days before their match so there was no way Crystal could take into account the potential awkwardness of meeting right after the show. But, perhaps it was good. Perhaps it gives a chance for them to discuss where they go from here. Crystal already has some thoughts as she places the belt down beside her in the booth before glancing down at her phone. At some point Courtney would text her about the next show, though in the trainer's words Crystal shouldn't be surprised if she finds herself being partnered with Mercedes against a team like Xenia and Trixie. Did she purposely avoid using the name Princess? Yes, yes she did. However, seeing no message meant such a thing wasn't confirmed so she places her phone down as well and goes into waiting.::

Crystal doesn't wait long as soon enough the former and, I guess...current Hellcats Champion walks over to Crystal into the cafe. Given the fact that these two went after one another so viscously in promos makes Mercedes walk with a bit of trepidation. The fact that these two women are now co-champions makes her feel downright awkward.

Mercedes: "Crystal."

Mercedes calls out the co-champion so she notices her and doesn't think she's some crazed fan trying to sneak up on her.

Mercedes: "Sorry if I'm late."

She pulls out a chair slowly and joins Crystal.

Mercedes: "I'm glad we're finally meeting."

She does her best to offer a friendly smile to Crystal.

Crystal: "Likewise. You're not late though."

::Crystal makes her own effort to smile although it's not one that works out completely well so she has to bail and glance down at the table. Not that she has a scowl, she just doesn't want to show she's forcing it.::

Crystal: "I figured since our argument has come to a stalemate, we either let it become the foundation of something that doesn't really need to happen or we try and start over. Especially since we,"

::She pauses, her eyes still unable to focus on Mercedes right now.::

Crystal: "Need to be setting the example to everyone else as co-champions."

::Crystal's mind races on the question of whether this is something Sakura would do as she reaches over bringing up the Hellcat title belt turning it toward Mercedes making another effort for a smile. However, despite all the talk the problem of Mercedes' actions still resonates in her mind. But, like she said, it's become a stalemate.::

Crystal: "That said, since there's only one belt, I figured we could...at the very least, share. The belt. Between us."

::It sounded a lot easier in Crystal's head to do this but she's never heard the argument how the belt is just a symbol. Maybe she should have run this past Courtney first though there isn't time for this now as hesitance gives way and she holds the belt for her fellow champion to take.::

Mercedes is taken aback. She's all for burying the hatchet, but certainly didn't expect this. She takes a moment to admire the title she once held.

Mercedes: "I'm not so sure...I mean, you had it before me."

Mercedes grazes the metal with her fingertips, a huge smile on her face.

Mercedes: "Maybe I can just hold it for a while?"

Without really waiting for a response, Mercedes goes to take the belt from Crystal.

::As Mercedes' fingers grip hold of the belt, there's a slight tinge in Crystal's already forced smile as she keeps hold of it. The struggle to retain control of the belt lasts only a moment though as Crystal loosens up her grip completely relinquishing control allowing Mercedes to take the belt completely. Crystal's eyes linger on the face plate looking like she might jump over the table and snatch it back but thankfully she manages to refrain from doing so and just focuses on her drink.::

Crystal: "Well, [size0]Now that we have that settled, let's get to the talking."

::Crystal looks back to Mercedes but her eyes immediately go back down to the belt. She licks her lips and grips hold of a napkin just to keep her hands busy before clearing her throat and making another attempt for Mercedes' eyes.::

Crystal: "Thing is, I think the problem you have with me is based around the...connection, minor as it was, I made with Xenia after our disappointing match."

::She still doesn't appear all too eager to drops the whole fast count finish. Then again, perhaps she should have done the belt trade off after all this as her tone sounds about as forced as her smile now.::

Crystal: "I didn't align myself with her, I didn't join her in questioning what you do. I did it because she was giving me her respect over a questionable finish, which you yourself have stood beside. Sorry, this is about mending things, not dragging them out."

::Should have also brought a mediator, someone to stand the neutral ground and keep them from straying off course.::

Crystal: "Maybe, if I just hear from you on what was going through your mind, I could drop it. Because, quite frankly,"

::Crystal's hands rip the napkin a bit.::

Crystal: "I'm not even sure why."

Mercedes slings the title over her right shoulder. She's completely unaware that Crystal feels even the slightest bit uncomfortable to see her with the title that two women are co-champions of. She shrugs at the mention of the fast count. Which probably isn't the best way to begin breaking things down for Crystal.

Mercedes: "I didn't think about it, to be honest. I mean..."

Mercedes re-adjusts the title on her shoulder.

Mercedes: "I didn't even realize I had fast counted until Orion told me that I did and fired me as a referee."

Mercedes sighs deeply. The fact that she was fired from being a ref still cuts deep, even as she sits there as a co-champion, it still lingers that she might've not been good at something.

Mercedes: "That's what I meant about being ripped out of a situation. It all happened so fast, Crystal. One minute I'm just reffing, trying to mind my own business and then Xenia starts saying I'm incompetent, then I subconsciously fast-count and suddenly I'm in the ring with her."

Mercedes' demeanor changes quickly. She goes from looking happy at the sight of the title to being frustrated and saddened. That's probably why she decides to put the title down on the table now.

Mercedes: "I liked you. I still do. But I never thought a fast-count would affect you. Desculpe...I'm really sorry."

Mercedes tries her best to offer a smile, but it fades as she remembers something else.

Mercedes: "I felt ganged up on by you and Xenia at first when you shook her hand. But I also felt like you're too good to do that. But I understand where you're coming from now. There is one other thing though..."

Mercedes fingertips graze the title in front of her, admiring it and feeling taken aback that it's actually partially her's now. She forgets--for a moment what she's going to tell Crystal.

Mercedes: "I didn't really like what you had said about my amiga, Brittany. I get it, it's wrestling and we should have thicker skin, but I felt pretty...enojada when that happpened."

Mercedes sighs heavily once more. She has trouble looking Crystal in the eye, afraid of what she might say, I suppose. It's why she picks up the title belt again and slings it over her shoulder. It's an attempt to distract herself and not to rub anything in.

::It takes Crystal a moment or two to fully register what's been closed off with. She was doing good keeping her attention going when the belt was no longer within her sight, but with it returning and being rested back up over Mercedes' shoulder...she kinda loses her for a bit. But it's when Mercedes breaks away from her English that Crystal is brought back into the fold completely. Her mind is of a confused state, however, as she tries to think what she had done with Brittany. Not since seeing her at the clothing store where her friend brought up how he could...give himself a treat to her have they really interacted. Though wait, was that before or after the party? Crystal doesn't know, but she does know one thing.::

Crystal: “Annoyed?”

::How she heard the word. Again, she was just coming from a trance.::

Crystal: “I haven't done or said anything to her. Unless you meant that tweet about her not being my champion. That was something I explained about well before her friend decided to try and call me on it.”

::Now she's getting upset. Given that it's been growing all through her statement, it could have something to do with her belief in how Mercedes was annoyed.::

Crystal: “Although this has nothing to do with her, this is about us and how, as you said, we all need to have thicker skin. Not run around telling everyone what someone else said so they can join in. This is why we're here, so this can all be talked out between us. Besides,”

::Crystal rests back in her chair crossing her arms underneath her bust, her eyes locking onto the belt worn so comfortable looking along Mercedes' shoulder.::

Crystal: “For someone who didn't want to get back in the ring you certainly seem okay with that.”

::Me-ow, although it's mostly frustration in her voice.::

Mercedes sighs, obviously regretting what it was that she said to Crystal. She didn't mean to bring up things from the past. She was just being honest and it cost her.

Mercedes: "She's my amiga, Crystal. What hurts her will hurt me. I can take it, I have the thick skin. But if you think we're not going to stand up for our familia when someone talks about them, you're loca, girl."

The claws are definitely out.

Mercedes: "Look, I know it's not why you invited me here..."

Mercedes takes a deep breath and releases what appeared to be a ton of tension.

Mercedes: "I mean, you and Brittany have your differences, that's obvious. I had differences with Sakura and she and Brit were still friends. You have yours with her, there's no reason you and me can't be friends."

Mercedes offers a more genuine smile this time.

Mercedes: "You're a good champion, Crystal. I'm glad I'm holding that with you and not Xenia."

Mercedes motions to the Hellcats title with her eyes.

Crystal: "I didn't,"

::She begins before pausing for a moment to rethink her approach.::

Crystal: "It isn't like I went at her randomly, and I didn't even mean to insult her. The tweet was just a shortened version of everything I had already told her."

::A new napkin in her hand, Crystal doesn't look to be ripping this one anytime soon.::

Crystal: "Sakura's just been there for me, she's been supportive of someone like me trying to get a name in this game while others just made jokes. She was someone I could talk to if Courtney didn't have the answer. Most of all, she was approachable. I just,"

::Again she needs to pause to think of her words carefully.::

Crystal: "Don't get that sense with Brittany. I'm not saying she's a bad person, just a lot harder to be her friend. You could be having a fun time and then you say or do one wrong thing and she just lets it ruin the mood entirely. Then the next time you talk to her it's like she's still upset."

::Crystal sighs as she rests the napkin down on the table pressing her hands over it.::

Crystal: "So I know this might be a little difficult to accept, but when I said she wasn't my champion I didn't mean it as a personal attack, I just meant...overall. Maybe it's not the right word, I don't even know if you get what I'm trying to say. But...that's it."

Mercedes nods her head with a smile . This time it actually is genuine.

"I wanna move past it all now, girl."

Mercedes does her best to look understanding too so that Crystal doesn't think she's just trying to shit her up.

"I'm happy to be co-champion with you, Crystal."

Mercedes smiles warmly.

"We should have a hell of a match."
