[Ryuuga's eyes widen as Jinga is able to meet blow-for-blow, though not out of surprise, more frustration than anything. It's especially apparent when his opponent starts leaning in, causing him to curl his lips back in a snarl. Questions about his dedication to his job weren't anything new, they knew that.

He's silent for the time being, forcing himself to focus only on the fight at hand - and though they're near the ledge, it doesn't seem to be hampering either of them. A few moments of silence and sword clashing occur, and then:]

[Granted, if he were perfectly honest - no, he doesn't only think of his duty. Circumstances just have forced him into that position.]
