[ he is doing fine, definitely. coming from blade, the least emotive man in the universe, "not bad" is high praise—if fuuta were truly bad at it blade would probably just walk away. but despite how some movements are clearly easier for him than others, and despite some uncertainty in how to carry through, he is mostly holding his own and that's worth note.
at the very least, he hasn't embarrassed himself. —yet, blade thinks, also taunting fate.
the request for a "finishing move" makes the corners of blade's mouth twitch, because real sword fights are rarely that choreographed, but he more or less understands what fuuta means. he doesn't get the impression that fuuta has any particular powers, or at least nothing that would allow him to do the kind of "finishing" moves that blade usually employs, so instead he shifts his stance into something that would be easier for someone to do on the ground. ]
Watch carefully.
[ it's a little flashier than what blade had demonstrated before, requires a little bit more footwork—but it should at least look cooler, if that's what fuuta is after. ]
