Allowing Nazo to retreat as he himself slowly sheathed his Chinmoku back into the Tōrenai-men to naikō, holding it in his left hand for a moment and gazing up at Nazo as he rested in a tree at the edge of the clearing. [B]"Your wits are sharp, Nazo Yagami, the world has taught you well,"[/B] Seisui stated, nodding his head towards his fellow samurai respectfully before his eyes opened once more, narrowing back to that look of deadly focus once more, before he slowly began to close the distance between his location and the tree.

Every movement he made told of immense grace and fluidity. There was no waste in his actions, as if every shift in posture and musculature had been practiced till there was no needless energy put into them. It was impressive, and to the trained eye of a Yagami such as Nazo, it would be just one sign of a great swordsman, or at least one who would become great. It was apparent that much time and effort had been poured into the mastery of his style and while Seisui could not be considered among the legends of his clan, nor could he claim the title of grandmaster, his feats were still aplenty.

As he walked, Seisui's calm voice drifted through the air between them as he queried his adversary, [B]"What do you call the first style you used? I have never seen its like before, it is quick and unique in its execution. I do not ask for you to reveal your secrets, I only wish to put a name to the style."[/B] With that the Mayonaka fell silent and continued to cross the clearing to reach the Yagami. However, what he would do when he reached him was questionable, but one thing was to be noted, Seisui now cradled his sheathed blade with the crook of his elbow, his fingers pointing upwards towards the blade's hilt, though his right hand remained at his other side as he walked. He was prepared for an assault, if one should come his way while, or after he spoke. However, Seisui figured that Nazo was not one to interrupt as long as not doing so did not threaten his life.
