(ooc;;btw the assassin of tetsu's parents, yoshida toshimarou, was killed by okita in the ikedaya incident - both in the manga and real life - which was the major plot point in the first arc of pmk. in this verse however tetsunosuke is unaware his parents' killer is already dead)

[ Truth to be told, Tetsunosuke doesn't knows much of kenjutsu. He received a very basic training when he was a small child, as expected of someone born in the samurai class, however, he later dropped it along with his brother, and his father didn't minded it at all, since he was a scholar who prefered books over fighting. A pang of sadness beats him inside as he remembers his father being murdered in cold blood by that Choshuu bastard, along with his mother; that's why he joined the Shinsengumi, eager to become stronger to kill that guy who stole his parents from him, Yoshida Toshimarou, that was his name. He made sure to remember it each day since the assassination, after he swore revenge.

That's why he looks determined to his new teacher, not caring for his lack of experience. ]

"Thank you, Okita-san" [He replies dutifully] "Yes! I trained when I was young, and I have my own style of fighting! I can fight with two swords!"

[embracethewind]

Your own style?

{ Oh? That's new. It's true that many men that join the Shinsengumi come from different dojos and learn their respective styles. To hear someone has a style within their school style is rare as Souji owns it because he's talented enough to create different and varied attacks. Better put it to the test with the other younglings watching how to learn a proper attack and defense as a start. }

Okay, pick a pair of shinai, please. Some knowledge can be useful to your present comrades.

{ With stern respect, he asks the children to step aside and sit, walking to the center of the dojo reading his bokken in stance. His demeanor is calm yet can show how deadly he is when confronted. When it comes to Tetsunosuke the usual demonic smile is lessened to a more amicable and lively grin. For once, he will go gentle on his new student. }

Please, come at me wherever you like.

( ooc: oh, thanks for the info! :D most likely it'll come up in conversation between them. also, sorry for the lateness! swear i've not forgotten you and i've not lost interest in the tag. just a rough month :< and a heads up for more slow u_u )

"Yes! I'm a master in nitouryuu!" [ He replies with enthusiasm. He always has proud himself of this particular fighting style of using two swords, and he'll be glad to put it into test with no more and less than with Okita Souji himself. He'll defeat him, he'll see! ]

[ Picking two shinaii and putting an armor, he faces at the young man in front of him. Despite being smaller in stature and lacking physical build, Tetsunosuke isn't afraid. Recklesslesly, he charges at the first division captain with all his strength.]

"HYAAAAAAA!!!!!"

(ooc;; I'M SO SORRY for replying this too late! This year was pretty busy and I barely could even log in or being in the mood to write, I'm so sorry. If you prefer to not continue it's alright! It's been pretty long time after all...)
