He frowned. Why ask if he could play by those rules then? "Winning always has a price no matter where you are in any universe. I'm well aware there are going to be consequences for whatever I choose to do and whoever I travel with. That's how it's always been for me."

Granted, he and his current travelling companion always crept away and left in the TARDIS before they could really see any lasting effects of their actions. He wasn't about to land on a different Astral Plane after this.

"Besides, angering those in charge is one of the things I do best." And he gave them a rather cheeky grin. It might make him seem as though he weren't taking the situation seriously, but he couldn't have been any more serious.

He almost started turning away but stopped. "Out of curiosity--not that I think I'll be back or anything--but I doubt either of you are able to leave to fetch any refreshments once the matches begin. Surely there are some rules about that as well. Anything I, or anyone who comes after me, should keep in mind? I have noticed the chocolate thing, so no need to elaborate there."
