[He could go on for hours in certain activities, sure, but fighting wasn't one of those. He could stike poses for her, thought, if he knew she enjoyed watching. He took a deeop breth, more a mental reaction than a necessary one, and straightened his back before staring toward the darkness for a good long moment: there was nothing his vision could pick up between the shadows, no further sounds of movements nor zombiest moving in.
