X-Fest is almost here.
Backstage in the hallway just outside of the mobile production studio XHW sets up at big events like this stands none other than the former XHW Undisputed Champion, Jaime Flawless. He's swept X-Fest before...and after - in his mind - successfully and single-handedly hauling ANOTHER team through the King of Trios tournament, he's got his full, intense attention laser-focused on doing it again. He's facing the studio door dressed in full battle-regalia - boots, trunks, leather jacket...all in white with gold trim. His head is bowed but his eyes open and on fire as he silently mouths through a couple talking points he has in mind for the promo he's about to deliver as soon as he goes through that door.
So preoccupied with his preparations, he doesn't notice he's begun sharing the space with -x- who ends up speaking in order to break the awkward silence left by Jaime's quiet preparations.Anyone may join.

Jenna: Someone's super focused..
Jenna interjects, She's holding what appears to be a fruit smoothie in her hand as she passes through the area, only pausing to perhaps check he's okay.
Jenna: All ready to drop a killer interview?

Well...SURE. He WAS. He blinks his eyes as his attention is pulled out of his head space and into the hallway with Jenna. A flash of annoyance crosses his features but as her words sink in a little, he smirks. His tense posture relaxes some.
Jaime: Guilty as charged.
He glances at the drink in her hand and lifts an eyebrow.
Jaime: Aren't your media obligations done? You did this yesterday, right?
Flawless nods toward the room he's about to enter. She didn't do her promotional stuff HERE, per se, but the meaning is clear enough.
Jaime: Just hanging around for the ambiance?

Jenna: Yup, I did but media obligations are never just 'done' someone is always wanting a piece of you.
She says with a little shrug.
Jenna: You looked like you were going to mentally explode so I just wanted to check you were okay.

He squints a little. Until now, no one outside of a very small circle has ever really caught him just prior to...well...what he does in front of a camera. Flawless considers just how much he cares to reveal before ultimately shrugging.
Jaime: Uh...I'm fine. I mean I've never watched myself so I wouldn't know what it looks like, I guess. This is just...me. Every time I'm about to go on camera.

Jenna: Well.. I never knew that.
She remarks, taking a sip of her smoothie.
Jenna: Guess we all prepare in our own ways. I'm with you I don't watch myself... I'm not self obsessed like that unlike some..
She trails off, no doubt some of her competitors would probably do just that.

Flawless grins.
Jaime: Oh I love me some me. At least enough to watch myself. But you know how listening to your own voice makes you want to claw your face off with a badger? Ugh! I can't stand it. I'm cool with blanking out, talking for a few minutes, crashing, and then letting everyone tell me how great I did later.

Jenna: Hence the reason I don't watch myself... I hate it when they do re-plays in live shows about something you said and you hear yourself speaking. Cringe!
Jenna makes a face about it before breaking into a smile.
Jenna: Saying that... there is some people who just love the sound of their own voices.

He chuckles.
Jaime: Not naming names but getting in the ring with one or two of them this weekend maybe?

Jenna: You've got it.
She says with a raise of her brow and another sip of her smoothie.
Jenna: I expect you are getting in the ring with some of those kind of guys too?

Flawless goes on ahead to play the part of a pot calling a kettle black.
Jaime: I mean...does Howell ever STOP talking? I don't know if there's any other explanation.

Jenna actually laughs a little bit, while trying to remain serious.
Jenna: Yeah. He does love his camera time for sure. Then again, he's pretty darn good at what he does.
She says, giving the respect where it's due.
Jenna: Still, it makes for a great pre-match build up.

He rolls his eyes and shrugs in a way that says, "I would rather do anything other than give that guy credit but FINE."
Jaime: He IS the champ. At least for little while longer...so yeah he's done SOMETHING right, anyway.

Jenna: That's the key... at least for a little while longer. Everything can change at X-Fest. Don't we both know that.
She says, she knew both of them would be partaking in their respective chamber matches.
Jenna: I wish you well.. Any idea who the mystery opponent will be?

DOES she wish him well? How unexpectedly nice of her. He frowns. Though he would never in a million years admit worry, the topic of her question is and has been driving Jaime Flawless absolutely crazy.
Jaime: No. Not that I'm not prepared...I knew teaming with Cross and Ruby would mean somewhere along the line I'd wind up facing the numbers-game. Whether it was Ruby herself or someone she hand-picked as a replacement. I figured it was better to put myself in this position guaranteed than hook up with a lesser duo with worse chances of making it this far. Laying in the bed I made, I guess.
He wears a grim smirk before shaking his head.
Jaime: And uh...thanks. For what it's worth, good luck to you too. It's kind of a stacked field.
