Diwali is fun. There are fireworks and parties and Ricardo even goes to a wedding, enjoying the different culture and how things are done here. It's the most quiet week he's had since arriving in India, since most of the students are away, with family and friends, enjoying the time off as well. He relaxes a lot, even watches a little of wrestling here and there.

Alberto continues to advance in the tournament for the WWE title, Ricardo growing happier for him with every win. The entire thing with Swagger appears to have been forgotten, at least for now, which Ricardo is almost glad about, because Swagger had caused both of them so much pain all of those years ago, and Ricardo doesn't want a repeat of that for Alberto, especially when he only has Zeb to depend on right now.

But as happy as he is for Alberto, his worry for Paige grows. Especially when he hears about the contract signing at the end of Raw and the things she says to Charlotte about her brother. Yes, Paige is always careful with her career and wrestling as a whole, but to go that far... especially when she understands about being a protective sister... He sighs and scrubs at his eyes, hoping that Mike and Alberto will take care of her, make sure she doesn't go too far and get seriously hurt because of it. He sighs and scrubs at his face, watching his students do their thing in the ring.

They're all learning so fast, he can't help but be overwhelmed by how proud he is of them sometimes. "Pretty soon they won't need me anymore in a little bit," he laughs into his phone, smiling at Alberto. "They'll have it all down and just ship me back to the States."

"Well, I wouldn't complain, mi hermano. Things aren't the same without you," Alberto sighs. "I will call you again after Survivor Series, I need to brag to someone after I win both titles, hm?"

"Si, you'd better!" Ricardo laughs. "But you won't just brag to Colter?"

"Ay, no," Alberto huffs. "I'd much rather talk with you, mi hermano. He is just a means to an end. When it comes to things that truly matter, like this, there's only one person I truly want to talk to."

Ricardo's eyes soften. "Feeling's mutual, hermano." He's just about to say something else when there's a knock on his door and he looks up. "Si?"

"Excuse me, Ricardo, but the students are back... and they want to train today. Do you mind coming down and overseeing?"

He closes his eyes and smiles vaguely as Alberto laughs. "Guess it's difficult to be always in demand, hm, mi hermano? We'll talk later. Have a good day."

"Si, good night, El Patron. And if we don't talk before the ppv, good luck. Though I know you'll do fine."

"Gracias, mi hermano." Alberto winks at him. "Adios."

"Adios, El Patron." Ricardo hangs up and sits there for a moment, glad that they'd found a little time to talk at least, before getting up and making his way downstairs.
