[Normally, he wouldn't even dream of it, given how risky it is to just go around starting fights, but he doesn't even think about it this time. He's just mad. Mad that people keep making these assumptions. Mad that people think a couple bad mistakes sum up the entirety of kind of person he is. Mad that this bastard thinks, after a couple short encounters, that he's figured Damian out, when, in fact, he couldn't be more wrong, or more shallow.
His hands curl into fists for a second, and he moves forward. It's easy to slip into something more akin to his old style, fast and merciless, but still treading the last line. He can't be lethal.
Damian moves, seizing the moment. An airborne kick connects with Akira's chest, sending them both to the ground, and Damian recovers immediately, moving to pin Akira and punch him across the face once, and then twice.
In one swift move, taking advantage of the surprise, Damian pulls the knife from his boot and runs it in one smooth stroke up Akira's sternum, from navel to collarbone. It's a skilled motion, barely nicking the skin, but clearly capable of cutting with the slightest bit more pressure.
He growls:]
Underestimate me again and you'll bleed out right here.
