Mrrrp. [Deku chirps, somewhat reproachfully, as his ears flatten back at the assault. He waits until Pennyworth's reaching out again before playfully batting at the other cat's paws. Playtime??
Izuku's listening to Damian well enough, really he is, but he just gives Damian a torn look when he's told to stand up.]
But Pennyworth is on my shoulder. [He's not allowed to move! Everyone knows you're not allowed to when you have a cat perched on you.]
[Pennyworth, of course, gives the stretched paw some irritated bats, but doesn't seem aggressive. Instead, Pennyworth turns around and teeters to Izuku's other shoulder and sits as best as possible.
Damian just rolls his eyes.] The cat will live, Izuku. Just put him on the floor. [Geez. Even Damian, who would Die For Animals, isn't opposed to dumping cats off him when he needs to do things.]
Anyway. [He makes the motions in front of him with his own hands.] Most people don't know how to fight formally. They don't know martial arts. So they are going to come at you like a street thug. They'll try to brawl. You can tell immediately by how they're positioning themselves when facing you.
Their dominant hand will be what they hold up first, or what they have the weapon in. Usually.
[Well, all right. But it Pennyworth hates him after this, it's definitely Damian's fault. Not that Izuku says that, of course.
Izuku very carefully and gently reaches up for Pennyworth and then sets him down on the ground him apologetically.] Sorry, Pennyworth! I'll play with you after Damian-kun and I are done.
[With that, he hops to his feet.] Okay, I'm up. What do you want me to do?
