[ Harvey has a routine; routine and rules and rigidity. He likes his structure. Needs it. Martial Arts has that too; you can recognize it if you know the pattern. ]
[ Bruce's style is a very specific pattern; brutality, efficiency, but lacking a legality. Supposedly there are a hundred and twenty-seven forms of combat, and that Bruce has mastered them all.... but Harvey knows better. Harvey knows it's a distillation of about twelve, favoring the weapon forms of the Philipines, Wing Chun, Savate, Capoeria and Muay Thai Kickboxing, with the simple endurance of a prizefighter who needs to stand on his feet through a thousand blows. A little of this and that here you are, the thumb print of Bruce Wayne on his students, from the fledgling Robins to Nightwing and beyond. ]
[ Seeing it in Anya's hands is... odd. He knows he was here -- or at least, a version of him was. ]
[ He stops brutalizing his bag, and watches warily. ]
