[ A fighter then, and Corvo's posture shifts to match. His weight rolling forward onto the balls of his feet and curses as his hand reaches for missing blades.
His powers would do in a pinch, though he would ever prefer of the blade across skin, if it came to that. There was more surety to that action than almost anything else to define life by. ( the thump, thump, thump of the heart in his pocket could attest to that. )
The word of assassin comes forth from the other man -- and more than anything else, that tells the truth of him. Truth of him too, and he was thankful for the mask. For the sneer that came with hearing himself called the same as the man that had made him no more than shell and bone and death. ]

[ a slight perhaps, to call a man so similarly dressed, lower than he might be. But he cared little for ceremony these days, and far more brazen words had passed his lips of late. ]
