[ 'Not bad' isn't a whole lot as far as compliments go, but Blade might still notice the way Fuuta perks up a little bit, standing up just a touch straighter as he grips firmly at his sword. Heh. Not bad. And this is his first time doing anything like this, so -- he's doing fine, right? Good. Not that he cares! This is just something silly he's only doing for this dumb movie! But still. Good to know he's probably not going to flub anything.

(He thought to himself, taunting fate.)

Either way, 'not bad' ends up being a pretty accurate assessment. Fuuta's movements are definitely unpolished and a little hesitant, strained especially when he has to make any moves that tug at his damaged ribcage, but his intuition isn't the worst; he wasn't lying about having done sports in the past. And with those basic moves competently mimicked, of course he makes the fatal mistake of getting just a little cocky: ]

So, uh. You got anything a little cooler? Like -- you know. A finishing move or something. Nothing too hard, but in case I gotta do something for the camera.
