[ frank is faster than he looks, even in low gravity. but he's less concerned about getting hit, and when raleigh's fist connects with his side it doesn't slow him down at all. which is probably why he doesn't bother blocking all that much really - it's faster and more efficient to just power through. overall, he's enjoying himself - they seem evenly matched. he lays off raleigh's left side when he seems to favor it and that suits him fine since he can't hit as hard with his right hand after injuring it his first days here.
once he starts to work up a sweat, he seems like a different guy - the tension gone from his frame when he gets to do what he loves. hit people. sometimes he loses himself, striking a little too hard; but there's a softness to his gaze every time, realizing shortly after and adjusting his strength accordingly. ]
