[polished isn't really the right word for Dave's fighting style either, so it's cool — this is going to be a very messy, at least in overall finesse, sort of battle.]
[but Hayner's coming at him like a tank with a club, and it's all Dave can do to backstep out of the way, arms raised as the club misses him by a few mere inches. shit — okay, this guy absolutely wasn't kidding when he was blatantly edging them forward, eager for a fight.]
[Dave moves to the side, and sweeps in a long, vertical arc. he's aiming to donk Hayner upside the head with the SORD..... not intending to do any actual damage (because he literally can't). he's more looking to weird Hayner out long enough to slow him down, because if it connects, it'd probably be a lot like getting smacked with a plastic sword that's also weirdly jpeggy.]
