[ As expected of a 'professional hero,' Barnaby's movements are quick, efficient, and almost difficult to follow. Gen ends up stumbling forward heavily when that elbow rams into the center of his back, grunting as he's sent falling heavily to his knees, the sword going skittering across the ground as he loses his grip.
Gen is stubborn if nothing else -- he's quick to scramble back to his feet, shooting Barnaby a vicious glare as he snatches up the sword once more. But the hoarse shallowness to his breath is rather at odds with the sharp focus in his eyes and the way he maintains a pale-knuckled grip on his sword, brandishing it defensively as he looks to Barnaby once more. ]
Thought you were only gonna defend or evade.
[ Can he take it as some indirect validation that he managed to force Barnaby into taking action? The thought is energizing to the (non-insignificant) spiteful part of him, and Gen lunge forward with another wide swing of the sword aimed at Barnaby's waist. Already, his movements are growing less refined.
