[It's been a while since Yuri's really been able to do any kind of decent training with his sword. The battle dome hasn't been much of a option lately -- even if his wounds are healed, the deepest one he received on his side is still forcing him to hold back a little. But still, just sitting around isn't going to do much of anything for him, so he'

[As Hakumen is spending most of his time since arriving on exploration trips, he comes across Yuri and Repede fighting at some point. He doesn't move to really interfere or even speak, but simply watches. A bit curious in general at how they are different creatures that fight on equal level.

...Then again, his world has creatures like the Kaka Clan that can battle, but this seems a bit different. Have fun noticing the giant 6'9 guy staring at you guys from afar.]

[Yuri may be focused on fighting times with Repede, but it's pretty difficult to be so In The Zone as to miss someone THAT tall watching you from any distance.

... Especially in such weird looking armor.

... ... Actually, it's kind of creepy.

So, hey there Hakumen, you're getting an occasional suspicious glance as his spar goes on. Because man do you ever stick out.]

[rabidrapido]

[Repede would have continued on, but even he had to stop and glance at the newcomer soon as he notices him.

Being the man guard dog of this house, he's going to stop and stare at Hakumen, trying to figure out if the guy is friend or foe.]

[decauldron]

[Hakumen is silent, still watching the two. ...Well, until they stop fighting that is. He isn't that much of an eyesore, is he?]

Your techniques are impressive. Do not stop your fight on my account.

[Yuri stays quiet for another moment, then shrugs.]

It's a little tough when some guy in weird-looking armor is standing around, watching you, but ...

[Looking at Repede now.]

... You want to keep going?

[rabidrapido]

[He turns his head to Yuri and then gets into a battle stance.]

Woof! [He can go on for a while. It's more like, do you want to keep going?]

[Sheesh, sorry for being 6 foot 9! He looks at the dog and notes how it doesn't seem to respond in any human language like the beast-creatures in his world.]

Appearance means nothing to a true fighter. The hound seems to understand that.

[Apology not accepted, especially with a comment like that D| Sheesh. Yuri gives Hakumen a bit of a look before shrugging.]

In battle, maybe. Not when the person's just lurking around, watching people from afar.

[... Maybe Raven's right and he really does need to learn when to shut his trap.

... Nah. He'll just get himself ready to continue fighting Repede.]

All right, Repede, let's get back to it!

action;

[rabidrapido]

[He wags his tail, preparing to send a whirlwind of dust and dirt at Yuri with Shining Dog.]

action;

[decauldron]

[Hakumen makes a small 'hah' under his helmet in regards to Yuri's comment, but does not seem phased by it. He slowly moves himself to a nearby tree and leans against it. The tree is thankfully shading him, so maybe he won't look too distracting? He's really just interested to see what kind of fighters Luceti has to offer. Plus the dog being able to fight is also intriguing in it's own way.]

[Well, Hakumen moving into the shade does help a bit, even if he's still captain of the S.S. Sticksoutalot. The sun no longer glaring on him does make it easier for Yuri to pretend he's not there, too. Besides that, he doesn't seem to be a threat, so he's got no reason to really be bothered by Hakumen at the moment.

Regardless! Yuri will be abusing free run getting right the heck out of the way when that whirlwind comes his way, dashing off to the right and making a wide arc. He'll be trying to get in a Dragon Swarm arte if he manages to get close enough to Repede during this time.]
