[Tsurumaru Kuninaga does not usually volunteer for such things, or so it is said. Tsurumaru Kuninaga is a free spirit, who keeps his distance, and lives on surprises.
Tsurumaru Kuninaga has been practicing his dance for weeks, now, in preparation for both the festival, and the surprise.
And Sachiko? Well, she's never been one to pressure her swords into doing anything but following their own whims, so long as they behave and listen to her when it's important. Perhaps that endeared her, in a way, to Tsurumaru. Perhaps it hadn't, and this was one more thing to try and surprise her. Whatever the case, when he stops, poses, grins, asks if she's surprised...
She blinks. Lets her head tilt to the side ever so slightly, as if she's considering... something. The question, perhaps? The execution? The pose itself?]
Were you... intending for your practice to be secret, Tsurumaru?
[So. Not surprised. Pleased, yes, as indicated by the shadow of a smile on her features, but not surprised.]
