[ dextera can handle this. he’s fought much bigger, more dangerous things than a boy with a mace. he’s a little out of practice but the physical element should come easily—it’s more what the doppelgänger is taunting gen with that concerns dextera.
his pet doormat. the one he really likes. dextera hardly has the time to process what it all means, but the gist washes over him well enough. ]

[ there’s only one thing for him to do, reluctant as he is. he withdraws his sword, and unlike ones he’s used in the past more comfortably, this is a real one. it’s meant to slice and draw blood from a human enemy.
it won’t be pretty, but he’ll use it.
dextera usually throws himself into fights with the knowledge that he could die and has countless times before, but this time—the doppelgänger has warned of gen’s emotions, and that means dextera wants to be careful. he can’t let his head get smashed in by the mace, nor can he have his neck crushed by those cruel hands. he moves fast, then, his boots offering traction on the uneven floor; he anticipates a swing going high, and so he tries to go low by aiming his sword at the doppelgänger’s abdomen. ]
