[The next day, Kiryu was the one who sought Khun, in fact]
The courtyard will do, in ten minutes.
[And, having said that, Kiryu goes to wait over there. It's kind of funny that he does this cool badass guy routine without even realizing -- it's not that even that he does it on purpose, it just comes so natural it's funny. No wonder he's got a reputation for looking broody and distant]
I myself fight without weapons, but you have one if you want to. It'd be nothing new for me.
[Even in friendly fights. Kiryu already showed with the possessed Akira a butcher knife and the such being held by an opponent doesn't bother him, so he's more than alright if he's against someone who wants to shank him]
Alright. But remember to tell anyone who asks about your bruises that it was a friendly spar. I don't need another parade of people at my door making puppy dog eyes at me.
Like you're getting out of this spotless. Come at me!
[He wastes no time getting in position, ready to clash with Khun!
The rolls of 7 + 13 + 18 are pretty good! Kiryu manages to defend himself at first, but the more they spar, the bigger an advantage Kiryu gets, he understanding what kind of fighter Khun is. Turning the tides, until he starts overcoming Khun and gaining an edge!
once again the dice favor kazuma kiryu during battle hell yeah he is in-character]
[ and khun rolls a bit short of that, totally to 31. it's not the worst showing for him by any means, but the cockiness of youth versus the wisdom of age sometimes works out that way.
he wipes a small trickle of blood from his mouth onto his fist, grin wry. ]
With a hook like that, you might even be able to join one of the Ten Families. [ it's a genuine compliment, even if he won't explain himself.
also he's definitely going to be sore tomorrow and he can feel the bruises forming, but he had a good time. ]
But, I guess this is proof I really should practice hand to hand more.
[What kind of weaponry, Khun? Truthfully, Kiryu briefly considers telling Khun next time Kiryu would like to face him with weapons, but also realizes he probably shouldn't be telling people 'hey let me fight you while you have lethal weaponry'...more than once, at least, he already did one time to Khun]
It did. But if I tell you to fight me with a spear so soon after sparring I'm sure someone will fret over it.
[You know people here. Some will disapprove. Kiryu is softhearted enough to care about how much others will fret over him and Khun overdoing their sparring]

[ because khun show up when normally he would not, because he doesn't like to be ordered around. ]

I don't need it and it'd probably make Tatara upset anyway. [ and he cares about that, so.
khun shakes out his shoulders and ties his hair up in preparation. ]
You have any terms? Or are we going until one of us says stop?

[Kiryu can't believe he has to add a caveat about healing magic but that's the kind of place they're in, one where healing magic is plausible]

You're good anyway. Took me a while to figure out how to do this right. That tired me out.

[ a beat. ]
And spears, though I haven't held one of those in years.
no subject
[Kiryu looks up, reminiscing a little]
I don't think I have fought anyone holding a spear, in a long time, if ever...
[Why does this man sound like he's intrigued about that thought. In his head he's already pondering how to move to counter a spear]
