Let's say that I like to know what I'm up against, my dear.
[There's a metal walking stick that he tends to carry, more for decoration than anything else, though it's well-suited to the occasional...horrendously violent purposes that he can think to use it for; he's been leaning against it this whole time, not drawing much attention to it or toying with it for once, although when he does move it, it's rather obviously for one of those, ah, latter purposes. He'll settle for aiming reasonably high on his target for now, a quick lash against the chest to catch him off balance and attempt to take the wind out of him; that would be rather straightforwardly followed by a sharp downswing to take his legs out from under him.
His speed is good, perhaps surprisingly so for someone so tall; the heightened reflexes of the Hero of Skill haven't suffered much here, that much is certain.]
