[ Malkus nodded and started off with quite a lot of pulled back tenacity. Though, when it became immediately obvious that Akira was much more capable than he seemed, the doctor ceased his reserved nature. He hadn't trained in a very long time, but his movements had an element of animalistic survival, gained from living in the plagued wilds.
After a period of play-fighting, shortened for time's sake, Malkus was much more winded than his partner might be. ]
I- hoh- Ehm- H-Hold, I yield-
[ He wanted to speak further, but opted to put a hand on his chest to catch his breath. ]
( akira was actually pleasantly surprised at the doctor's tenacity. coming from a place where it sounded like survival was the top priority, perhaps he should have guessed that malkus would be versed in combat— which is why he didn't hold back as the match went on.
as soon as the white flag was waved, the school-aged boy stopped mid-swing, settling back into a relaxes position with a grin, and straightening his glasses. )
Not bad, Malkus. Are you sure you weren't practising before I got here?
H-Hah! Maybe it's just the experience giving me an edge. I've seen a thing or two, where I'm from.
[ He laughed as he stretched his arms. While he didn't really need a proper weapon, given his claws, he browsed the wall once more. Malkus would certainly be keeping the gauntlets, at least. ]
( based on that glimpse of malkus' world... akira is sure that he has. examining the knife that he'd picked out again, he flips it once or twice more as he thinks. )
Why the sudden interest, though? The monsters have you worried or something?

we can fast forward to a post-spar after this, if you like! up to you!!
In that case, let's not go easy on one another, all right?
If that works!
