It was going to be a warm day, at eight in the morning that was already clear. The sun was shining in the cloudless blue sky, its rays piercing through the canopy of trees wherever it could. All around, the world was waking up, the deer could be heard calling from somewhere she hoped wasn’t too close by. Moorhens sounded on the lake. The flap of wings would occasionally draw Eva’s attention in that direction. They’d been doing laps around the lake for a little while already, watching as it came to life with waterfowl, trying to steer clear of the aggressive looking geese. It was a beautiful place, which of course was part of its appeal. The hall atop the hill dominated the scenery for miles, yet at times in the woods around the lake, could vanish from view entirely. The dirt path muffled their footsteps as they continued their steady pace, eyes flitting over everything as if drinking it in. They’d already toured the gardens, and yesterday had been inside the hall with the kids. Daniel especially had been drawn in. Not only did the building boast military history. It was Batman’s house, which immediately made up for the girly flower gardens.
Icon Corbin: I still can't believed they chopped his nob off...How barbaric is that?!
Eva: He offended Victorian sensibilities…..besides it’s not all gone…..they just…trimmed it a bit.
Icon Corbin: You make it sound like circumcision, Evalyn. It was a brutal act and just...disrespectful. He should be able to stand there proud!
Eva: Oh my gods…..are you actually offended on behalf of a dead ape?
Icon Corbin: A dead ape with his cock severed. I'd be well hacked off if it happened to me, dead or not!
Shaking her head with a not too subtle smirk she pulled her sunglasses off her head and over her eyes.
Eva: Aye well, I’m sure, all things considered, it wouldn’t be the worst thing to happen.
Icon Corbin: Whaaaa?! How can you of all people say that?!!
He nudges her slightly off path, cracking a grin to himself as she veers back on route again. The sun hit them as they broke out of the cover of the trees.
Eva: You know I love you really.
Icon Corbin: I know you do.
Eva: It’s why I’m the exception to the rule in the promo room. Either that or you really don’t like the thought of sleeping on the sofa forever.
Icon Corbin: Woman, please. I can take over the entire bed if and when I like and leave you curled up at the edges. How you gonna try and make me sleep on the sofa?
Eva: Pfft, we both know that’s only until I take over you. That frantic “bitch I’m falling off the edge here!” tone you have is quite cute.
He just smirks, his pace never wavering, even with people on their path and it was the third time they passed a few people who dared stay on it. They’d stopped exchanging friendly greetings with the couple on the second lap round. Now their presence earned nothing more than a friendly nod. The lake was more open on this side, with the back of the hall looming to the left of them, open waters to their right. The bank was clear here, and low enough so a few of the more trusting parents allowed their kids to try and feed the ducks. Behind them a toddler had chucked in half a loaf. The goose it hit wasn’t impressed, neither was his mother. Shaking her head she nudged her husband.
Eva: That’d be Georgia….
Icon Corbin: Yeah, that child does nothing in halves...unless it meant half a loaf to the pond life...
Eva: What can I say? She takes after her dad.
Icon Corbin: I'll take that as a compliment...I think.
Eva: Would it make me a bad champion if I got ice cream after this?
Icon Corbin: Ha! I think the rest of the roster have already defined what being a bad champion is and ice cream never played a part in that...so...no.
Eva: Awesome! I’m gonna get that green shit and a flake!
Icon Corbin: Oooh! Yes! I love that shit. In fact I like it when I can't even fucking see my ice cream because it's dripping in a syrup-y rainbow!
Eva: You are such a child.
Icon Corbin: You asked for ice cream. With green stuff. The only green shit adults eat is when it's good for them or disgusting. Yeah, I'm the only child here.
Eva: It’s good that you’ve accepted that.
He pokes his tongue out, nudging her again only this time there's consequences as she bumps into someone else and sends them crashing into the water. The tourist clearly had no idea what hit him, neither did the rest of his group. The water wasn’t deep, just up to his thighs. The ducks, swans and geese flying in his wake caused enough chaos. Elbowing the young lord she appeared actually shocked.
Eva: Oh my god……Leg it!
The World champion misses that memo for all his roaring laughter, the man just standing there bellowing at the display. The park keeper had rolled up, with medics in tow. Eva had vanished, away from the lake entirely as she’d legged it up the hill. He finally slows down, tears streaming down his face when he realises she'd ran for the hills. He gets all serious, feigning concern before he leans in.
Icon Corbin: I don't blame you. Lovely day for a swim!
A foul look is all he earns himself from the spluttering, dripping man in the overly bright shirt.
Icon Corbin: You have a nice day now.
With a daft grin and a double thumbs up, he turns ninety degrees and nonchalantly jogs his way up the very same hill, eventually reaching his partner in crime and goes for a second round of hysterical laughter.
Eva: You are bloody awful.
Icon Corbin: Hey it wasn't me who knocked the silly bastard in! That was you...so...ner.
Eva: Aye, and who nudged me into the silly bastard?
Icon Corbin: It wasn't even that hard. I'd say you wanted him to go in. Besides, I saw the way you looked at him on lap two.
Hands on her hips she just shook her head at him. She was trying not to smile, trying her hardest to appear disapproving and he knew it.
Icon Corbin: One of my favourite classic British wrestling moves is that. I might have to call you Lady of the Lake harhar!!
That was it, he was off again. Feigned shock faded to laugher as she elbowed him.
Eva: You’re a tit.
Icon Corbin: We're a right pair, ay?
Eva: The best.
He smirks, nodding his head as he hooks his arm in his hers, the two beginning to stroll.
Icon Corbin: That's the problem, isn't it?
Eva: What? That we’re awesome?
Icon Corbin: Technically yes. Why else would they pit us against one another?
Eva: Drama sells, we can rip into each other pretty well when the whim takes us.
Icon Corbin: It's not the same though, is it? That was when we made that choice, when we put the idea in the board's head that it was a good idea. This is just...it makes no real sense, does it?
Eva: On paper sure, we’re both good at what we do. Throwing two big names, two big champs against each other is sure to draw. The fact that there’s no heat going into this, it just makes it tricky. Besides you know they don’t like it when we play nice with each other. We’ve been on the same page for a long time.
Icon Corbin: I know and I have no intention of changing that. But the more I look at it, the more it just seems like an opportunity to kill two birds with one stone, so to speak. I'll be surprised if we even get to wrestle with the fucking idiots lined up to get a piece of us.
Eva: So we do what we do best.
Icon Corbin: If I thought I could give this match my undivided attention, then perhaps, but you know I can't anymore than you can. Alex will see this as a chance and so will Clan Mayhem and Kolic. Fuck, let's throw in the possibility of this idiot James Strong and his bit of muscle because he thinks he can be GZW's greatest manager and is begging to impress Alex even though his mouthpiece is worse than Amanda's. Ugh...
Eva: So don’t stress about it. We expect the worst. We’re more than capable of switching it on when we need to. When the excrement hits the wind device it’ll be us against the world. It’s hardly a new concept.
Icon Corbin: Yet they always seem to stop that from happening. Us against them.
Eva: God, you’re Mr bright side today, aren’t you?
Icon Corbin: Excuse me. I've spent all morning taking the piss. It's just the subject of GZW is a sore one. I don't trust anyone in that fucking place to allow you and I to really do what we do best.
Eva: Hmm, maybe you’re right. All we can do is go out there and play the cards we’ve been dealt.
Icon Corbin: I guess so.
Eva: No guess so sweetheart. You know I’ve always got your back.
Their strolling had taken them through the sensory garden. The smells hitting them before they ever saw the colourful blooms. Though with how often he'd broken his nose, his sense of smell had taken a heavy decline.
Icon Corbin: I might have to hold you to that, lover.
Eva: Hold me to whatever you want, love.
He winks at her. They found their way around the hall and more importantly, to the ice cream van.
Eva: Wow…….That is a big arse bouncy castle.
Icon Corbin: Are there...limits?
Eva: Probably, but you know they lie….besides considering how big most kids are these days. I’m like what….two? three? Average chav? Can chav be a unit of weight now?
Icon Corbin: We’re back home, I see why not. Then whadya say we bounce the fuck out of them castles before ice cream?
Eva: No telling the kids though, right? They’ll whine we didn’t let them play.
Icon Corbin: We'll hire one again if we must, but I have to have a go on that. Right now!
Eva: You total child……
Elbowing the manchild out of the way she tore down the hill.
Icon Corbin: Oi!
He races after her full pelt. There was no way he was letting her get first dibs on the bouncy castle, even if that meant charging down the same poor bastard that got knocked into the water earlier and leaving him in his wake.
Icon Corbin: I still can't believed they chopped his nob off...How barbaric is that?!
Eva: He offended Victorian sensibilities…..besides it’s not all gone…..they just…trimmed it a bit.
