[There's still a small part of Robert, the part that clings fiercely to his world's values, that finds this display... slightly disturbing. It's not nearly as vehement as his feelings would have been before - perhaps it can be likened to the mixture of discomfort and awe that comes from seeing beautiful works of art carved from bones.

He is aware of the sheer skill that goes into the motions - the speed and precision are obvious to anybody with even a rudimentary knowledge of physics - and he can see the effortlessness that Don performs them with. Now, with some thought and assistance from his own training and what Leo has taught him, he can reconstruct what these moves might do in an actual fight.

On some level, that concerns him a little. On the other levels, though, he is both fascinated by Don's lithe grace and amazed by his sheer ability with something so deceptively simple as the bo staff.

He watches respectfully either way, not taking his eyes off of Don's motions as they continue.]
