[ At least Horikawa is enthusiastic! If Hijikata is going to assess what level Horikawa is at he has to make sure Horikawa is ready and motivated to give it his all!
When should they do it... ]
That's a good question... [ There's a thoughtful hand placed to his chin as he ponders this. Theeen after some silence. ]
Alright, well after our walk maybe we can find a good place- gives us time to stretch our legs and relax. Do you maybe want to practice outside since it is a nice day or check the dojo again? [ It'd be kind of disappointing if they went back to the dojo and it was still crowded. Why not use whatever setting they have at the moment? You always can't have all your fights in a dojo, an ultimate test for adaptation and skill- so maybe it would be a good idea to assess Horikawa like this, hmm... ]
[He waits patiently for the thoughtfulness to pass, and the solution posed is good. Horikawa doesn't mind a spar that approaches so soon at all, since there's never too much of an opportunity to stretch his legs in such a way. Especially against someone whose tactics he admires the most. He's quick to agree to all of Hijikata's proposals, adding on just a couple of his own.]
That sounds good, Hijikata-san! I'll keep an eye out for somewhere if we pass it. If we don't find anywhere, I thought I remembered places outside to spar at the dojo, so I'm sure there's a good place either way! In that case, I look forward to it.
