A brief flicker, what could only have been properly described as a twitch, and Brutus' sword parries each volley. Barely, but he parries them all, with swiftly-whipping winds. In that same motion, the butler dodges backward. He backflips in succession, three, four, five times until, once again, he's on the other side of the room.
On sticking the landing, he whips the Greatsword around with menace, and runs up behind the icy wave it generates, to meet with a strike from Babaraina, now glowing white-hot.
“…Judge not what a man has done, but judge what he could have done if he was a different bloke altogether. For art thou a leper? And a leper can changeth his spots…” --Rudy Wade, Misfits (Series 4, Episode 8)
