[ kara is probably out here trying to perform an investigation of his own. of course there is nothing for him to find, he wasn't on the mini investigations, but that doesn't mean he can't still try.
he finds guy right as he's punching another tree, and watches him silently for a moment. considers leaving him to his anger, because that isn't kara's problem and he doesn't want to make it so.
problem is, he knows all too well what guy must be feeling, so he stays, and after another moment - ]
Sparring would be more useful than punching trees.
[ so he'll follow. kara does wonder, for a moment, why guy seems to be so angry - but maybe he knew yu, from before. it's true that kara would be as upset, should something happen to lili. ]
[They won't have to walk far, just out of the reach of the trees. Guy settles to a stop, backing up to give the two of them room and taking a long, formal bow towards Kara. Only then does he pull out his sword, the sheath held freely in his opposite hand.
Whenever he senses Kara is ready, he'll dart forward, the same quick footing that he'd shown in their first spar. It's combat that focuses on speed and evasion over power and control, to hit and run. But it doesn't keep him from putting plenty of force into his first blow.]
[ by contrast, ookurikara relies on strength and defense in lieu of speed - he meets the blow head on, with both sheath and sword held before him like a shield. he holds his ground, and presses forward, angling to throw the blade to the side and move into a sweeping horizontal slash at guy’s chest. ]
[To fight against someone else who uses the sheath just as much as the sword itself is a rare treat, even with how different their tactics are. Guy allows his blade to be pulled to the side while his own sheath is raised as a buffer, the momentum of the motion giving him enough time to shift his weight back with a quick step, meet ing Kara's sword before it can his flesh. The sound of metal against metal is vibrant, echoing past the trees.
He'll try to sense which direction Kara might be pushing, shifting his weight to attempt a feignt to one side with a quicker blow.]

His fist tightens at his side, posture straightening up with a careful, deliberate force.]
Yeah, well. Wasn't in the mood to hunt someone down when we had four other bodies on the ground.
[As neutral as he keeps his voice, he's already been in a fight today, and the fatigue brings out the cold edge in his anger.]
Was that a request?

[ just in case guy missed that part. ]
It's more of an offer. If you don't want it, I'll leave.

[They're all alive. Yu isn't.
A beat. He'll sigh, something resigned in how he carefully nods.]
Probably would be a better use of my time, anyway... I appreciate it.
Come on. Let's find somewhere with a little more space.
