"Sir." Janus pet Bruja on the head, and decided to skip the leash: he'd just leave the lil' thing with Caboose to watch her. "You heard Sir Kaine, 'Boose. Don't want her to get hurt."
The boy chuckled: no, that was his job right now. Drawing his sword, the little fledgling resumed his position across from Kaine.
"Dangerous habits?" he met Kaine's eyes, trying to focus on the sword that was going to come flying at him soon. "Tell me! I can't fix them if I don't know what I'm doing wrong." Janus took an exploratory sidestep, watching how Kaine's entire body seemed to glide to center itself on him. It was amazing how much control she had over her own body. "I thought the Master would have told me if I was doing something poorly."
Another side-step - twice as far this time, and yet Kaine didn't seem to put any effort into just... following along. Jeez. Just more proof of how outmatched he was.
