[No threats of murder! At least, not from Akechi. With the break in combat, he's just stretching for now, bending at the waist and touching his toes, bending his knees, rolling his shoulders. Showing off his flexibility, sure, that's part of it, but it's also practically speaking to keep limber. A test to see how much they can go through before suffering the effects of physical exhaustion.]

Perhaps that's why we work well together.

[It's said more to Cole than to Ren, because it is a statement of fact: in spite of their many, many differences, Akechi and Ren do work well together. The thrill of executing that Showtime Attack is one he doesn't think he'll ever forget.]

[That's good to know. They seem like very different people in some ways, but it's good if they have something they can both enjoy together.]

Do you fight together, where you came from?

[He assumes that's what he means by working together, at least. Also, to Akechi,]

You found a sword. That's good.

[forethinking]

On occasion.

(Together, as a team, together as rivals or together as trouble? That was way more than he'd care to share, unfortunately!)

[simulatio]

I did. Rather convenient, wouldn't you say?

[It's still wrapped in its protective cloth for now, Akechi ready to resume the match whenever Ren's ready.

The comment as to how they fight brings a smirk to his lips as he flourishes the sword. What memorable occasions they are.]

I look forward to seeing what new challenges we'll have to face together. And the same goes for you as well, Cole.

[A polite nod. If nothing else from his time sparring with the spirit, he can appreciate the way he fights.]
