[This isn't a real battle. They're matching each other, pushing each other farther and farther on, with no real need to win, only for the thrill of the fight and understanding each other through it.]

[Yuan keeps the Swallow in constant motion, using himself as the pivot for its sweeps, faster and faster with his strength and its momentum. The blade almost sings as it moves, and he expects Kratos to catch him again and again, and he's never disappointed. It's flashier than it might be if he was just trying to kill Kratos; there's a sort of joy in the movement and having such control over it, feeling the Swallow as only part of himself.]

[He's aware of the audience, but they don't seem to matter all that much.]
