[They knew each other's moves too well. How many times had they faced off against one another? Ever since the day that shot rang through Erebonia to leave a trail of scorching flames in its wake... no, even before then. There were the days when they had clashed blades within the deep catacombs of Heimdallr and once again in the murky gloom of Sachsen Mine as the seasons progressed through the height of summer to the first embrace of autumn. And as those times had shifted, Crow had been there to watch Class VII grow in both strength and resolve with every single step they took.
And yet, here they were. In contradiction from everything he's seen from Class VII... no, from Rean, here Crow can only see how wrong everything's gone, somehow and somewhere in the brief time that he had been dead. Maybe it was partially because of his own oversight and failure as a friend to address these issues earlier. Maybe it wasn't. But they had the chance to put some of it to rest and he'll be damned if he doesn't take it, here and now.
As Rean makes his own move, Crow takes a sidestep himself, spinning his weapon to help deflect the thrust.]
Is that the best you're going to give me? Come on!
[The moment he's recovered, he'll be back on offense, following up with a barrage of slashes, all aimed towards knocking the tachi out of Rean's hand by pure force. All the while, there's a challenge in his eyes.
