Seiko shared that sentiment- sparring with someone who was so laser-focused was highly enjoyable. As much as they liked the unpredictability of fighting with strangers, they enjoyed brawling with someone who displayed carefully trained technique, who thought through each move carefully. This certainly felt like an even match-up. So much so that they really didn't know who was going to come out the victor. They charged, and mid-pounce Oath brought down a paw on their shoulder, twisting around and deftly pinning them to the ground. Seiko wiggled, aiming to fight free, but their lowered position left the movement impossible. Panting, they didn't quite stop thrashing, but they clearly had lost this one. Being pinned down didn't exactly settle well with them though, every fiber of their body begging to be freed. "I concede," they said through gritted teeth. Herajika reeled back quickly, her tail giving an excited series of twitches. "You fought well," they said after a moment, once Oath allowed them to stand. They'd won more fights than lost and they were always impressed when someone was able to best them. They were not so arrogant to believe themselves undefeatable. They took another long moment to look Oath over, admittedly intrigued by him. "Hanzo Seiko, of Tojo-Kai," they introduced themselves after a beat, giving a curt nod. |
Note: Seiko is biologically female, but they identify as nonbinary (they/them pronouns).
Their companion - a female tabby cat with antlers, named Herajika - is often hanging around.
