[Trena and Kou Interview]
It's after the mess that was the latest SJL! Johan and Desdemona aren't dating anymore and are going to duel now. Isao had a meltdown, Yuya's got a duel and Divine Grace has successfully defended their title a few times.
Now, they've got their first interview. They've attempted to ambush an alone Trendafilka but she has dragged/begged Kou to come and do it with her. Besides, they're not beat-up and exhausted anymore.
[The semi-elusive members of Divine Grace! Thank you for joining us. We'll skip straight to the big question: You've managed to win a title and have hung onto it. How does this feel?]

I feel like it signifies our combined strength. If it was just one of us acting alone, I think things would be a different story. I can't say what it would take to topple the current Singles champion.
But our ability to work together right now is what got us the championship in the first place, and our current strategy is what's going to let us keep it.
Course, we haven't had it for too long yet, so who knows what tomorrow brings. But we're ready to handle it.

I also think we are very well prepared for other challengers. Once they have enough wins, we will gladly face anyone!"
[With, ah... the commotion lately and the way your teammate has been... outspoken on the issue, do you tend to agree with her about Ryozanpaku, Mister Tezuki?]
no subject
This might be a little long-winded, so sorry about this, but.
I think I don't know too much about Ryozanpaku as a school to judge whether or not she's right. I don't know anything about the other students there who're in the Super Junior League. But what I do know is the reactions and actions of the previous title holders, Kachidoki and Zheng.
And while I won't put a lot of judgment onto the latter, I hold quite a bit for the former. We lost to them in the first challenge, and Kachidoki responded to it like I, specifically, was a waste of time, and recommended that Trendafilka drop me before she even tried to challenge him again. I'll admit it was pretty much a sore point for me.
... but we gathered up our wins and prepared ourselves before even approaching them again-- not that it mattered, since they were taking on an open challenge policy in spite of the League rules. Even though he still saw me as nothing, it's clear that perception affected their combined ability to duel, and seemed to attempt to speed through it. Which... resulted in the duel taking even longer than they planned, and I think it's what result in their loss then.
I saw that again with their duel against "Double Yu", where he once again made it clear beforehand that he didn't take the opposing team seriously as actual duelists. I think the resulting losses have shocked his system, especially, since far as I know, he's had a really stable record up to this point.

She clears her throat.
"Next question please!"
[Uhh. So, what made you two decide to work together in the first place? At first glance, it doesn't look like you'd really mesh well.]
no subject
Trendafilka approached me first with the suggestion, since our decks would work well together thanks to my Shaddoll component. And something about not minding getting hit.
At the time, I was busy with a personal job I had to do, but I took back up her offer with this new season starting.
no subject
[Isabel Marias herself said that you two were the best team in dueling right now. How do you feel about that?]
Here, instead of responding, Trena is making high pitched, barely heard joy noises, bouncing up and down and waving her arms.
no subject
I'm... very honored to have gotten the attention of Miss Marias. And I hope we'll be able to continue to perform to those expectations.
no subject
[What are you two's plans for the festival and the future, besides merely defending your titles?]
no subject
You might be asking for what we're thinking about past that, but the truth is, the festival's gonna be likely our busiest time for just defending the titles. Once we're over that hump, we're going to have a better idea probably of where we're going from there.
no subject
Trendafilka just smiles sweetly for the cameras.
[Which one of you is the black wing and which the white?]
no subject
*he looks at Trena, this might be more. your aesthetic to answer.*
no subject
She nods sagely.
[And, finally, are you two a couple?]
no subject
*he just simply says that.*
no subject
"Is this because of teasing of others? Can understand, but we are partners in battle and in dueling.
Kou even refuses to wear matching dress, so he is definitely not my type!"

So, is the interview done now?
no subject
[... Yes, ah. Thank you two for your time.]
no subject
*and he's totally escaping before the interviewers think up any other questions*
