[Damian's never tried to emulate Grayson before. I'm not you is what he said in their very first sparring session, and that never changed.

Except now, he's considering it.

It does have merit, against this kind of tactic and skill and speed, and the first two sweeps do get him flying out of the way (and he wonders if it's the same approach that this very young, newly arrived Grayson would use)...

... but he's never been one to run for long.

So, the third time, he aims for landing on the extended leg, rather than away from its path.]
