Cat smirked as Addy volunteered; sure enough their words were enough to provoke him into accepting their challenge. That had been part of why they'd said that, though the other reason had been to point out the weaknesses (though his hadn't been so much a weakness as the best they could think of in the moment) and how there was no blanket thing they could start with.

As they stepped back away from the crowd, they glanced over at Salem. "Have you fought with your hands fucked up?" They inquired, smirking even more when he said he'd go second. They didn't dwell on that, though, and within moments they were turning back to Addy. "Let's see your stance."

⇥ Catalyst is 6'2" tall; they possess a lean and muscular body, one that has a variety of old scars adorning it. One of the easiest to notice is one that stretches down their right cheek.

⇥ Catalyst is ambitious, with the cunning and ruthlessness to reach their goals by any means necessary. They can be brutal when they feel it is needed, however when it's not they won't bother.

They can be manipulative, and will often encourage people to make bad decisions. Those that stick by them will be rewarded, but those that do not will be cast out, as they've been outcast for their entire life and have learned to appreciate loyalty wherever they can find it.

— a smirk was all addy needed to know that he’d completely fallen right where cat wanted him. fuckin’ bitchass. not that he was complaining. he doubted anybody else would be as ready to volunteer, save for salem - because like hell would lucerne actively volunteer in battle training.

his stance? he couldn’t help but huff out a breath at that one - how could people not even know how to stand when fighting? what were they doing, fuckin’ picking at dandelions instead of learning how to defend themselves? … maybe people just didn’t need to learn how to since they hadn’t been in a cutthroat gang for a majority of their life.

best way he’d learned over the years was a more boxing stance - not too wide, not too short. not too stiff and not too loose either. hands up and open, relaxed - just comfortable enough to where he felt like he could fuck someone up. because, his personal opinion, he absolutely could fuck someone up.

They were confident. What could they say? They'd been in countless fights over the years, many won, many lost. They weren't too worried about losing here, but even if they did, so what? Cat had proved their mettle time and time again, and everyone but Salem here knew it. If he was foolish enough to doubt them, he'd be corrected soon enough. Still, getting their ass kicked when they were meant to be teaching would not be a good look for them.

Their own stance wasn't unlike his; their strategy usually being to get in quick and hit hard. End the fight before it had a chance to start. Though, if you took a look at all the various scars they'd collected over the years, you might wonder how successful that was. Since they were still standing there, they'd say successful enough.

Cat gave Addy a tight nod. "Should I go easy on you?" They asked, tone slightly mocking. Hey, when it came to this particular man, trash talking was just how they communicated.

— catalyst and addy both were fairly good fighters, the redhead would easily boast. it wasn’t like it took a rocket scientist to figure that shit out, though. they both could kick some major fuckin’ ass- so it wasn’t like his ego was going to hurt too much if catalyst ended up winning this one. there’d always be a next time. or a time after that. still didn’t mean he was going to take it easy on the leader.

“nah,” a simple remark, followed by a small tilt of his head. “it’d make kicking your ass too easy.” they were both complete assholes to each other, addy knew that - but at least they were the kind of assholes that at least knew how to poke fun with one another. "y'gonna throw the first punch or what?"

They had an ego. That was undeniable, but it wasn't one that was easily damaged. Losing this fight, if that happened, wouldn't bruise their pride or embarrass them. Shit happened, and they accepted that. Did they want to lose? Of course not, they were supposed to be leading a battle training, and losing wouldn't reflect well on them. Oh fucking well.

Cat didn't say anything else, just feigned right before attempting to strike Addy on the left. One of the advantages in fights was that they were ambidextrous; they could use either hand and be just as effective.

//wow this is real bad
