For Valen...
Locke is wandering through the Mansion with a glove tucked in his pocket and frowning as he tries to figure out where he's going to find a rapier. However, he is looking for one person in particular and said person will probably not be too pleased with the request he's going to make. That's probably why he looks annoyed. Not because he's just recalled how awful he is at swordfighting without trickery, which he's pretty sure he's committed to, and he really doesn't want to lose.
He's not worried about the rest of it, particularly - he can handle a little bit of bleeding. What's that? Nearly entirely healed? Oh, psh.
