The scene opens with a close-up of Warren Peace's face.
Warren: Once upon a time, in a land far away, there was a King ...
The camera pans back and we can see Renegade and Dante in the background, deep in conversation.
Warren: The King was a handsome man, tall and broad in ways that made even the highest caliber of lady swoon upon sight. Women wished to be with him, even dressing provocatively to bring his eye their way. They did not stand a chance at capturing the King's attentions though. For bound to him was a creature of such beauty and sweet exoticism that the King's eyes did not wander. Trish Extreme was both his greatest ally and his greatest enemy, challenging him in ways he found maddening and frustrating. But lovely, always so very lovely. As unlikely as their coupling was, it was nothing if not wonderful in its truly unique way.
Behind Warren, Renegade and Dante have begun gesticulating wildly. Warren ignores them and continues with his story.
Warren: Some might say she loved him only for his power or his wealth. Perhaps she was even tricked into the relationship, others would suggest, but they knew different. The King, no matter how he had desired her for years, would only have her when he knew he had truly won over her other suitors. This was of the highest importance to him, for he was a person of honour and honestly, while still being feared for his ruthlessness when necessary. No one dared cross the King, though everyone wanted to be a part of his retainer. The King's Court was one of high order and those that lived within it were lucky to be sworn to him.
Renegade and Dante now appear to be resorting to violence, and a shove from Dante sends Renegade staggering backwards a few paces. Despite the distraction, Warren tries to remain focused.
Renegade: You know for a big guy, you're really a big baby.
Warren: Oh dear ...
Dante: Do you enjoy referring to me as a tiny human despite my status?
Warren: Uh, guys. Trying to tell a story here.
Renegade: I'm simply telling the truth. I can't help how you act.
Warren: Hello!
Dante: I would not be acting as a 'baby,' as you say, if I were not forced to face The Skull at Adrenalin.
Warren: Oh screw it.
Renegade: You're not being forced to do anything. You asked for a title shot, and he holds the belt. You said you'd take on anyone.
Dante: Had I known The Skull would be my opponent, I would not have chosen to compete for that belt.
Warren barely resists the urge to roll his eyes as the argument continues.
Renegade: Yeah, yeah, I'm sure you wouldn't have. And while we're on the subject, remember you promised to be nice at the party. Jayden is our boss and my good friend.
Finally, Warren interrupts.
Warren: Are you two ready to leave now?
Warren sidesteps Dante to get out of the door.
Warren: Just hurry it up.
