Bruises are how you know not to make a mistake next time! Up to a point, of course. But they're both more than skilled enough to keep to that point in practice.

So: there were some mistakes Enjolras will still be feeling tomorrow, yes. (He did, at least, return the favor.)

He grimaces a little in acknowledgement. "The gym doesn't seem popular. I've rarely met others at practice here."

Which means not very many practice partners.

The lack of a useful goal to dedicate fighting skill towards might have been a factor, except that Milliways boredom weighed in the other pan of the scales.
