[ He hums in consideration, reviewing the spar in his mind. There were moments where he'd been caught off guard by Alhaitham—a testament to the Scribe's battle prowess, because the Wanderer isn't easy to surprise in combat—but it'd gone about as he expected. Very few people could beat him in endurance, and if Alhaitham wasn't capable of knocking him down quickly, then he would most certainly lose.

But Alhaitham isn't familiar with him yet—give the man some time, and he thinks the Scribe will put up more than just a good fight against him. Nearer to the end of the spar, he could already see the man reading the drifter's moves much more quickly than before. It had to be commended. ]
