Damon chuckled, stepping closer. "Only way to go is up, right? Good to see you here, man."
Edward nodded, his grin never fading. "Likewise. Looks like we're going to be seeing a lot more of each other."
The competing spirit came back to life for Damon, and he couldn't wait to see how they would push each other to new heights.
Edward's sparring partner stepped back, a wide smile on his face as he moved to give Damon a friendly dap.
Damon returned the gesture, nodding at him. "I'll take it from here if you don't mind," he said, a playful grin on his face.
The sparring partner stepped aside, giving Damon space.
Damon slipped on the protective pads, ready to take on the role of a human punching bag for Edward's striking drills.
Edward got into his stance, his hands up and his eyes focused, ready to deliver blows with precision and power.
