[Dan makes a "you right" head gesture at Saturday, although he doesn't totally agree. Just the ability to let someone coming atyou know that you'll drop them before they even get halfway close to you can often be enough to get someone to shut up long enough to listen.
He gives her a nod, taking in what she's saying about the weapon. He appreciates it, even if he was entering with respect for it being a weapon.]
I know how to conduct myself in a fight. [Dan says that firmly but not defensively.] I may not like to have done it, but I've left a good bunch of bodies in my wake.
[Dan takes his stance, and while it's definitely not that of a novice, there are definitely improvements to be made. His dad trained him when he was young, but that was more than twenty years ago, and the amount of times he's used a blade since then has probably been less than once a year, without extensive practice in between. Going at the droids an hour ago was the most he's practiced all year. And what his dad did drill into him was not how to fight a combatant who also had a sword, but how to hack at an intruder in the home or an attacking wild animal.]
