'''“Almost?” He repeated after her, arrogantly, before bringing his sword back and pointing up into the air. “You might want to step as---” Before finishing his blatant lie meant to distract her with one of the oldest tricks in the book, he made a ugly face. The face of a old man at the markets who likes to profit of people, wrinkly and greedy as the sound of wailing was heard in the background. His skin turning green like a troll as, if she had indeed looked up, he approached her with a wide open hand slap to the face.'''

'''But before his  hand could connect. BOOM! She had caught onto the trick at hand as her foot lashed out and kicked him in the gut with enough force to send him falling back onto his chest with all of his physical features returning to normal. (Was just for comedy sake, not an actual transformation lol.)'''

'''“Almost….” He repeated once more as his eyes grew into dizzy spirals and he spread his arms wide, laying on the ground panting while as a gentle rain cooled his skin. His eyes were already refilled with their usual determination as he spoke out to her. “You know... I could have killed you, had I stabbed down while I was above you.”. He wasn’t bluffing or trying to sound cool this time, nor was this arrogance; it was clear from his facial expressions. He thought back to his recent mission which had left his shoulder with a scar. And thought back to the man whom he had killed in the exact way he just described to her a mere days ago. He was purely saying this to warn her in case something like this happened again. '''

'''“Don’t let anyone slip past your sight. Watch the way they move and turn your body preemptively before they get to you.”. His advice was sound. But he’d do good to follow his own advice in order not to get kicked onto the ground next time. '''

'''He slowly got back up to his feet and went to retrieve his other sword before reconnecting the two. “That’s 2-0 for you. But don’t count on it lasting.”. He glared into her eyes, but his expressions softened for a moment after which he turned around and waved at her with the back of his hand while walking away. “Until next time, Madoka.” '''
