Bahorel grins. "Fair enough; but I expect at least one chance against you today." There's a good chance Percy might beat him at this, or at least make him fight for a victory. Strange explanation of combat or no, Bahorel's already gotten the sense that Percy's good with swords.

For now he stands across from Enjolras, who Bahorel is certain is good with singlestick, and looks for a cue-- is this going to be a slow demonstration sort of match, or a real practice?
