[ Such strong eyes... They remind him of a certain kitsune, but the notice is fleeting at best. Perhaps a correlation to the emblem of her region. Questions of familiarity were the farthest from his mind now, however, as he notes the feline ears and the shift in her spear. The poise...the way she carries herself. There's no faltering. If she hesitated or showed any form of resistance, the beast in him would have taken full advantage of that. But her stance is solid. Like stone but prepared to smoothly flow down the river with but a surge's notice. It's an observation the swordsman may have never made before his training here.
But...it's a shame that he didn't carry Tsubaki with him. A foreigner, both of land and world, Cloud had taken a fond interest in the homeland of the Raiden Shogun. Or...perhaps more importantly, it was thanks to the guiding hand of one of her people.
Tonight with the Buster Sword in hand, a pair of blue and green spheres slotted at the base of the weapon, he intends to use the might of a SOLDIER to place her in her place. He wasn't underestimating her when he was already planning to come at her with a step beneath murderous intent. ...right? ]
Gonna regret letting me do that,
[ he answers her, tone steeping into something more feral as he raises his Buster Sword up and over his shoulder. As if preparing to wind up... Eyes flashing wide as his grip tightens, a sudden well of energy flows through the blade, shining brightly as he suddenly makes good on her offer. Slamming the Buster Sword down, sharp beams of raw mako energy are sent directly for Ei, the Blade Burst technique he applies swiftly followed up by Cloud launching himself from his crouching position to follow up, intending to come in swinging with a rising slash from the side. ]
