[The difference in movement was obvious to him, though a little less predatory than he was used to. The relaxed stance was something he had seen, what with the Soldier always confident and loose while on mission. There was no denying the guy could wreck pretty much any situation, but this wasn't bad. He could see that he had made an oddly positive impact the last time that they had met.
