Roddy shook Desmond's hand in a brief handshake, though he did make the effort to maintain a somewhat firm grip for those brief seconds, just to avoid seeming weak. He might end up having to fight this guy soon, after all. "My name's Roddy, by the way. And yeah, I did. I know I'm not the most intimidating competition, but I figure I have a few tricks up my sleeves."

Mostly involving slipping into and out of small spaces, but that could be useful in the later rounds.

Casually slipping his hands into his pockets, he added, "What about you?"
