[Byleth adjusted his glove to ensure it was seated properly, and mimicking what he had observed others doing, he set his elbow on the, er, not-quite-flat rock that was serving as the table between them, his palm open. Hayame's hype men didn't even garner a bat of an eyelash from him - considering how his gaze was laser-focused on Hayame, it was almost as if they, and the racket they were making, didn't exist.
It was how he was: his opponent was before him, and his opponent was his world until their conflict was resolved (and doubled as being an unwitting intimidation tactic, as many at the receiving end of that stare confessed it felt like being in the crosshairs of a wyvern).]
Please don't hold back. I wish to witness your full strength.
