[Getting a hit would normally make him perhaps too over-confident, but he's learned most of the people here have some kind of supernatural up on him. Reminds him of home really. But it keeps him from following up for now.
As soon as he hits, he puts a good bit of distance between her and himself, no less set up in a ready stance.]
You let me have that. [Again, he turns his head and mildly spits to get rid of a bit more blood in his mouth.] Your stamina is too high for you to be that careless.
I could toy with you all day, but that would do nothing for us but fan my ego. I called you out here to test you, not to torment you.
[ she is amazed at what a solid hit that was from such a small body, but then, damian isn’t like her—where she is small and delicate, with a frame that looks liable to snap in a breeze, damian had to train for that strength and it shows.
[Slowly, his face folds into something both confused and resigned. After a moment or two, everything about him loosens slightly, and he stands up straighter.] I'm fully capable of taking care of myself. [He can survive, but can he live is the question.]
And I'm fully capable of taking care of the girl, too.
[Despite frowning, Damian remains resilient because there's too much intimacy in using her name to someone else much less her already.]
Gladly. I'm starting to get bored with most people here.
[He loves them (shhh), but damn they are a soft, goody-two-shoes bunch. Or they're old, tired men like Guren who won't fight him fairly!! He can't believe he got a decent fight out of Sierra before he got one out of Mr. Lieutenant-Colonel of the Japanese Imperial Demon Army.]

[ sierra is amused all the same, though, and it seems their little fight has come to its end. she’s happy with what she witnessed. ]
…It was good to see you in action, Damian. Shall we spar again, some day?

[ simply because he hates it so much, and although it’s evident in her tone that she’s teasing, she’s a little bit sincere as well. ]
