[It's fine if he doesn't want to talk. They can dispense with language for now. Zarkon can speak the language of combat well enough. As the heat Keith's putting off intensifies, so does Zarkon's cold. He's not feeling particularly warm at the moment. He's to the point of creating ice crystals, which gather in the air and on his shoulders. He narrows his eyes at the sight of the fissures and flares, but he's not going to allow them to intimidate him. He trusts in his own abilities and his bayard.
When Keith charges him, he's prepared. There's no surprise in the attack this time, but it's well-executed. He can tell he's dealing with someone who's a trained fighter. He counters the luxite blade with his own. The blades clash with just as much force as before. He can appreciate the strength of the weapon and of his opponent, but he's more concerned now with defending himself than admiration. He has no idea why this person is attacking him, and he isn't willing to go on the offensive yet.]
