[ When you're a warrior, there's always something to be hard on yourself over, isn't there. But at least his own body is something Sousei can actually do something with, while he can only mull over the absence of Tenka - so it's at least a little bit more productive. A little less full of despair.
Even if it is taking a lot of concentration and effort out of Shinpachi to keep up with Sousei - especially since it's not just about the spar, it's also about observing, about trying to see what the other is thinking of.
That's what is important here, after all.
Not letting the other rest for a moment, he's already back on the offense, although hitting a little less hard this time - but he's quick to pull back and strike again after his sword hits Sousei's own. It doesn't come with the usual barter - not today. The only thing breaking the silence is the sound of wood striking wood. ]
