[Haru, for her part, watches their opponents carefully with her knees slightly bent, shifting her weight from foot to foot and back again so that she'll be ready to spring into action at a moment's notice.
It leaves her in a position to be able to twirl out of the polished-looking man's way when he approaches, ducking down slightly and coming up with a curtsy before lunging forward for a quick strike with her fist.
...Phantom Thieves can be a little extra, and Haru's movements are smooth and elegant to start with, since she's not weighed down by the axe she typically fights with. (It would probably be in bad form to slice their opponents in two, though perhaps she could use the flat of the blade as a blunt weapon... something to consider for next time.)
The bearded man, meanwhile, lumbers toward Atsushi once more, though he's more aware of his movements this time. Rather than kicking him and potentially throwing himself off-balance, he's going to try and grab him to wrestle him down to the floor.]
