[While it was purely a diplomacy mission that Faustino had been sent on, it didn't mean he had let his skills deteriorate. On the other hand, surprisingly, he had met a formidable rival who had threatened to beat him entirely if Faustino hadn't been clever as well as brawn.
So he wasn't surprised that he was able to dodge, but more shocked that a few sparing matches with someone who might be close to his level had sharpened his skills so much.
He lashed out with his long legs, grinning slightly.]
If you're so confident, should we place a wager? Winner gets to have the loser do their bidding for a day.
[A thin ruse, but one that Faustino would use if he could.]
