Allen leaned against the doorway and watched as Kanda, stripped down to skin and loose gym pants, work through ghosts and smoke and countless unseen enemies in the big empty room.
Long arms already sheened with sweat, sleek biceps toned and rippling as the blade sang through the air, his hair pulled up in its tail, the cords of it snapping like whips with every shift of movement and sweep of metal.
While the sight of one’s target for verbal attack carrying a very real weapon might put a hitch in an average person’s argumentative stride, Allen’s interest and intent spiked.
If he was going to start a fight, he might as well do it when the man was hot and buff and sweaty.
And suitably armed.
