Dominic really didn't like to fight but he was learning that in this group scuffling around was part of being friends. He could go along with it. Harald pushed and Dominic barely budged. He had good footing but most of the movement was the sand giving way. He wasn't easily angered. He hardly got angry at all which was the best for everyone. His eyes did narrow as he started really assessing his soon to be opponent.
"It was how I was trained." He didn't see any honor or dishonor in being prepared.
Harald was curious as to who trained Dominic and what that training entailed. The big Viking was about to find out as he cracked his neck and exhaled slowly through his nose. He had a captive audience, as he looked around, noticing a few of the other musicians watching the two men.
"Train myself."
The Norwegian waited for Dominic to make the first move.
"I was trained by the same people who trained Damien but he focused on using guns." Dominic had not. His physical strength had led him down a different route.
He fell quickly into that training too. His eyes focused on Harald, unblinking and then the empathy surfaced and focused down on the Norwegian too. Dominic was trained to focus on people to a degree most found unnerving and when he started to move in there was no sign of violent intent. It would only come at the last moment when he was well within striking distance. Like Harald he had a calm to fighting that didn't betray how much of a danger he could be.
Harald had skill in using different types of blades ranging from throwing knives and axes to spears and two-handed weapons. He never thought guns were honourable or were "too easy" so didn't like using them. Vikings didn't use guns. If Dominic wasn't going to make the first move then Harald would, as he stalked around the other man on guard.
"I prefer my hands." Dominic had been trained on weapons until he was a teen and they discovered how strong he was becoming.
Dominic was moving in but he was also trying to gage Harald's reach. While moving he was actively trying to get into Harald's side and a position where the Viking was more vulnerable.

For Harald, Mick, et al.
"I'd rather not unless I have to."
