Sorry. I haven't put my armor on yet today. [Normally, that makes all the noise for him, so he forgets when he's not wearing it. Plus carpets absorb more sound than the wooden veranda around the Citadel. He closes the eye while Haru is rubbing the bump, not really sure if it hurts or he was just startled.]

You should practice at home though. The more you practice the better you'll become.

[ He stands back up to his full height and touches the mark. It'll bruise, but it doesn't actually hurt much. Well, no, it hurts, but Haru feels bad so Doutanuki has to pretend it doesn't hurt so Haru feels less bad!!]

'M fine, but what happened to your hair?
