[No???? He's also never seen a person with cat ears, which is why he is very pointedly ignoring them. People wear weird things on their heads all the time, right?? Look at Kashuu or the old man. All the time.

Buuut if the saniwa is certain and he's sparred the other swords (not that he knows which swords are here yet), then he'll relent and follow along to the grounds. It's weird how every citadel looks the same and different, and Doudanuki can't help but look around and take it all in as they walk. The layout is almost identical while the furnishings are all new to him. He can't quite get a good look without having to stop the mad dash to the sparring ground though, so he gives it all a cursory glance before moving on.]

Alright, but I'm gonna go all out. If you hold anything back, you're gonna get hurt, got it?

[Not that it seems that Azusa needs the warning because he's already with a blade and in a stance by the time Doudanuki is setting his helmet down. Are all saniwas this crazy???

He joins his new master in the ring, holding his sheathed sword at his side. Fighting is natural to him, so he slides into a solid stance and narrows his eyes, watching Azusa. He turns slightly, putting one hand on the hilt of his weapon, and then slowly begins inching forward, strafing to his right.]

Ready when you are, Master.
