Alyxander chuckled and smiled. "As do I. I have never really been much of a fighter, though taught plenty if not more." He replied. He didn't really answer to the mention of winning Kate's affection. His mind was rather busy over that, though his words were not. "It has been a while since I've had a fair spar, or a fair fight. I don't intend to disappoint." He grinned a little, though not being cocky nor complimenting his ability greatly; in fact, the boy was very honest and humble, he very rarely lied nor made things bigger than they were.
