"I have not fought someone with a weapon like yours before." So simply fighting will be an experience. Certainly the Batter has fought someone with a blade before - that child comes to mind - but not a long one by any means. He's already thinking of how to keep out of its range while still staying within his own's weapon's range to land a hit.

It'll be tricky, especially considering the Drifter's apparent speed. And the Batter is in the same place regarding landing hits designed to not inflict fatal injuries. But perhaps if he treated this the same way he did with the baseball game, it should be fine.

The Add-Ons move away to give the two combatants room. Naturally no interference will come from them unless something goes horribly, horribly wrong but it should not come to that. Keeping a few thoughts in mind, the Batter raises his weapon.

"Whenever you are ready."
