<br/>​</div>Robin could feel a burst of movement, a sharp rush of air in front of him as Nekro seemed to appear from nowhere, fist cocked to throw a punch.  He sidestepped quickly, making no effort to block the furious blow.  Apparently Nekro was mad at him...smiling?  That, or what the joke represented?  Regardless, Nekro continued to charge his position, throwing blow after angry blow in his direction while ranting like a veritable lunatic.  Despite Nekro's speed, Robin's saber fencing had gifted him with excellent footwork: a grimace of slight concentration on his features as he ducked, sidestepped, or swatted away the predictable blows.  Eventually, enough was enough.  He didn't plan on being lectured to by an ingrate nor have his actions misrepresented by an angry headstrong idiot.<br/><br/>"Really?<i>I  </i>broke the rules?  Professor Roan instructed us to, and I quote: not engage and record three factors of this Grimm.  I'd say a sample is one factor - " Robin ducked beneath a punch, shaking his head.  " - Wouldn't you?" His face narrowed, mouth tight as his words all but hissed through clenched lips.  "And<i>then</i>, when K ordered a retreat, guess who listened?  A hint - it wasn't you." Robin's blue eyes were cold, his stare a thousand miles away: as if he was looking through Nekro, not towards him.<br/><br/>"You...know...nothing." Each word accented by a sidestep or block of Nekro's punches.  "Hunters and huntresses protect CIVILIANS first and their TEAM second!  Everything else is tertiary!  So who the fuck were you protecting, huh?  LITE's failure?  Your own ego?  Or your inability - " Robin raised an arm, deflecting another blow aimed towards his chest.  " - To think before you act despite<i>both</i>professors mentioning they'd step in and assist if things went to shit?" His eyes, cold and unblinking, stared dispassionately into Nekro's as the Faunus continued his furious blows.<br/><br/>A derisive sneer entered his tone, Robin's mouth twisting into a sharp frown.  "You don't think.  You ACT." Robin's voice lowered so only Nekro could hear.  "All the time you've wasted trying to punch me is strength you<i>could</i>have saved carrying Lenora and Timor back to Beacon."  He shook his head, leaping away from another blow with an almost ballet-like move.  "Where's the care for them now?  Couldn't be bothered to give a shit anymore?" One of Nekro's punches skimmed his forehead, the knuckles raking across his scalp.<br/><br/>Robin could feel himself grow ever angrier as his voice dropped to a cold, harsh whisper, his white hair matted with a faint sheen of sweat.  "You don't have a<i>single</i>human brain cell between those big furry ears," he spat, still staring Nekro dead in the eyes.<br/><br/>Using an off hand, he cast a near-invisible ward onto his back as he became further incensed.  In a normal setting, Robin wouldn't have dared to stoop to mere racism.  Yet it seemed like no one would bother to intervene...so he merely had to provoke Nekro enough to justify retaliatory violence and stop this idiocy.  Nekro risked causing further issues but he was too dumb and angry to see it.<br/><br/>"Come on, hit me!" Uttered under a mocking whisper, only Nekro would be able to hear him.
