[ Despite all their smacktalk back and forth, there is nothing personal about this session for Adrien.
He's not here to prove a point or any of that nonsense. If Tetora proves to be someone who is hiding special abilities, well it won't be the first time that Adrien's tangled with someone stronger than himself. Fates' sake, he's used to those uneven types of bouts.
In the opening moves, he allows Tetora to circle him, watching him from the corner of his eyes and allowing his other senses to track him when the younger man goes briefly out of view. He's had to do this so many times, it's instinct now, the way he can feel the chill of fingers up his spine when he has a threat behind him.
When Tetora moves Adrien spins into the attack. His own opening salvo is defense based, giving away as little as possible; he's learned to guard his secrets. He gracefully weaves his shoulders back, spine straight as he gives at the waist, maintaining his balance on his feet even as he dodges the jabs thrown in his direction. Tetora does eventually force him to move his feet when he presses and when the 'reach' comes, it's in the form of attempting to use his opponent's own offense against him.
His counter is an attempt to grab one of those jabbing arms, twist and throw Tetora over his hip and down to the ground. ]
