It's with another resigned sigh that he shuffles away the memory of the lone meal they'd shared and mentally readjusts Dextera's status in his head from 'tolerable acquaintence' to 'enemy.' Not a change he would have wanted to make on his own, but there are plenty of things he'd been forced into doing that he hadn't fully wanted to. What's one more to add to the pile?
He takes stock of Dextera's build and height, and the apparent lack of weapons in the other man's hands. There's always the risk of magic to be had but there's little he can do about it now save for keeping his eyes and ears open and reacting appropriately. For now, best to start with something simple so he can gauge what he's up against. A forward lunge, one hand striking downwards in a smooth arc, the tip of his dagger pointed outward as it swings for Dextera's left leg. An attempt to wound and disable, rather than kill. ]
