[For those familiar with Dirk, they might notice something unusual about him today- for all that he usually wears shirts decorated with hats, he hasn't ever been a fan of wearing them. Until now, apparently, considering he's wearing one right now. It goes a long way toward making him look like Bro Strider, which is impressive, since they already look like clones.
It doesn't seem like he's about to talk about that, though.]
I have to say, I'm impressed by the amount of whining we've gotten for a simple curse like this. Jesus shit, it's a minor one, calm your tits and deal.

The two blades clash with a loud noise, but Bro's already on the move the moment they do. Upwards, then sideways. He'll go for an offensive strike of his own, but assuming his assessment of Dirk is correct, it'll be blocked. Knowing that much simply doesn't stop him.]
[Action]
Bro's assessment is completely accurate. Dirk does block, but rather than turn it into a prolonged contest of strength against an older, heavier version of himself, he disengages and goes in for an immediate counterstrike without even flashstepping in a different direction.]

Hence why he flashsteps a good distance away, this time. Bro's going to have to come after him, now.]
[Action]
He's starting off with a sideways swipe that's really more of a distraction than anything else, because his true goal is to move straight on and flashstep his way behind Dirk if the kid tries to block it.]
[Action]
Dirk responds to the sideswipe by putting up his sword to block, then sidestepping, not flashing away. It's cocky, sure, but he thinks he can get away with it. Hence, when Bro ends up behind him, he has time to start to turn, but not get out of the way of Bro's attack.]
[Action]
He does indeed follow through with his attack, even with Dirk already turning to face him. However, it's not just about swords. The second that attack gets blocked, he'll flash upwards just a bit to break the contact again, then move a leg up to try and kick Dirk in the chest. With his long limbs, he doesn't even need to be that close to succeed. Surprise kicks were a thing that tended to catch Dave offguard, so it might just work here.]
Re: [Action]
It smarts like hell, but he forces himself up onto his feet again immediately, because there's no time to waste in a strife as fast as this. Before Bro can follow up, he's flashstepping again, playing at keepaway if Bro wants to keep on with his lead.]
