[Everything in Iorveth's stance changes; it's predatory, and Raphael feels a stab of adrenaline in response. It's definitely not fear. Raphael isn't scared of anything, ever, no matter what.
Instead Raphael switches to a more defensive stance. He can do this; the guy has swords, he has sais. He has a tactical advantage, to so speak. He just has to get in there and knock him down before he can build up steam.]
It's about time.
[Raphael decides to do his trademark idiot move that Splinter surely never taught him to do, because it's a bad move. He runs to the side, rebounds off a tree and dives toward Iorveth, sais pointed out to impale him. Easy to dodge, terrible strategy, but he's gonna prove that he's already learned everything he needs to know to win a fight.
