[Huh. This one's got much better manners, doesn't he?]
Don't worry about it. It's not the first thing I've had trouble believing when I saw it around here.
[Or even not around here, but that's a can of worms he's not about to open with anyone not already in the know.
He's still got a level of skepticism about all this himself, but. There are better ways to figure this out than the first one that came to mind - that being "how about you demonstrate your sandanzuki." (Not really the kind of thing you ask a man to do when you're the only convenient target at hand, after all.)
He'll just have to keep an eye on this one, next time a fight comes up.]
