Van growled low in his throat, no longer caring whether or not he seemed proper. Appearances didn't matter when he was confronted with someone that so desperately needed to beaten into submission.

At least with the strike, he'd know how hard Teisel would hit. That was already more information than he had before, and it was unlikely that another hit would be something he couldn't block.

"Do you want to see more?" Van asked, taking on a defensive stance one more, keeping his arms raised to block more easily. "Then come at me again." If he could lure Teisel back in, he may be able to take him by surprise. He wouldn't bother dodging this time, he'd simply block and strike back.
