[ Damian's retreat isn't random, for all that it seems that he's simply trying to keep the distance between them. Foot by foot, he's edging back towards the open holding cell - an apparently open room at the back with an easily triggered force-field window. He doesn't intend to let the boy return to the Court.

The boy is moving noticeably slower, and the mask is tucked into his utility belt so he can keep one free hand pressed against the wound on his side, though the damnable smirk won't leave his face as he jumps back out of the way of the knife (the blade scraping just shy of his throat).

(Normally, he would just knock him out rather than trying to lure him in, but Damian isn't faking his delayed responses, the heavy breathing or the squint to his eyes that says he's fighting off the haze of blood loss. Stakes raised, tactics change, and he needs to stay out of close combat unless absolutely necessary.) ]

Maybe you should try aiming for something a little easier to hit. Something more your level.

Have you tried the broad side of a barn yet?

[ Such a dick. ]
