[Ed starts to smirk but it is stifled as the stretch of his lip stings and sends even more blood into his mouth. For a moment he simply circles, Peter, watching him settle into himself, knowing that there will be no more distractions.
Good.
And then he rushes forward, a feint easily blocked by the shield, another strike meant to slide into the gap created by that reaction. He doesn't stay still long enough to see if that blow hits, sidestepping, giving back some of the space he had taken from Peter. If it were a lesser opponent he could drive forward, force them to yield with a series of quick strikes but he must allow some space if only to avoid getting hit by Peter again. Even at his best Edmund could only withstand a few blows from the larger man. Precision vs Power.]
