[ He probably shouldn't take the bait. He knows he shouldn't. Gen's not so arrogant as to call himself especially smart, but he has some confidence in his instincts and gut feelings, and those are telling him that falling for this provocation is a bad idea.
He knows that.
But at the same time, being faced with this arrogant asshole so insistent on acting like he knows exactly what's going on grates at his nerves like nails on a chalkboard. Like this asshole has any idea what it had been like ending up in this stupid situation with nobody to answer any questions, only a gaggle of soldiers and the force-feeding of that wretched potion. This fucker has no idea how good he even has it. ]
... yeah.
[ Is that a 'yeah' to the faking or a 'yeah' to the dare? Maybe a bit of both.
He's not just coming in for a punch, though.
Instead, Mamoru might feel a strange tremor race through the ground. Subtle and brief, almost mistakable for the vibrations of something tunneling through the ground beneath them. That's all the warning he gets before the ground to his right suddenly fractures, a chunk of dirt and rock launching upwards with the speed and force of a fastball -- aimed right at his head. And as soon as he sees how Mamoru reacts to that -- dodging or deflecting -- Gen lunges in for a punch, to catch him in the middle of that motion. ]
