Akuji felt the instrument in his hand, weighing it up,
"Yes... they are misunderstood by many..."
Miyamoto made his strike, lashing out and slicing the air next to Akuji's right shoulder as he strafed to avoid the swing,
"..Many call them alien... monsters... but they're focused..."
Akuji made his own swift cut, and would have hit Miyamoto somewhere in his left arm had he not brought his sword up to block,
"They may be killers... but aren't we? They are useful, they are my friends..."
Miyamoto twisted is sword and thrust, aiming for Akuji's stomach area, but Akuji's shifting movement left the instrument falling short of his target,
"..It might have been a dangerous gamble a few months ago... but assistance from such a group would mean the tides of many battles turned in our favour"
Miyamoto parried Akuji's well-planned swipe, slashing out when Akuji's guard was down, but his sword cut through air as Akuji rolled to the side, clearing the impact.
