Balxephon awoke, unsettled but not surprised at that fact, and quickly exited the tank he had woken up in. Falling onto the floor, he panted heavily for several moments until he was capable of regaining the poise and composure that had come to be expected of him. He cared not for what the verdict of the fight held, as a wave of exhaustion washed over his body, despite it having just recently been rebuilt. He laid himself to rest for the night, resolving to find out the verdict of his fight and deal with the consequences of it tomorrow.
Barbas had no words for what he had just witnessed, not that he had anyone to share them with if he had any. Though Balxephon hadn't won, he also hadn't lost, meaning he technically did better than Barbas did. He also died in a way much more befitting a Dark Knight of Lodis, while ending the life of another. Barbas accepted his shame for the time being, intending to overturn it at the first chance he had.
