While Hanama struggled in the sun all day, Shun and Reiko had retreated to the shade of the tree where they were now going over tactical theory. Shun had been drawing battle plans in the dirt while discussing them with Reiko, though the Ninken couldn't speak she could still plan and the pair seemed able to understand each other On some level.

"Yeah flank seems best, head on is an accidental waiting to happen" Shun was cut off though when the purple haired kid offered them a deal, a spar with water or a blade on the line. Shun and Reiko stared him down for a short moment, part of him wanted to be petty but, he was raised better than that.

"You're bad at deals, if I win that I'd get nothing of value to me, a weapon will just slow me down, while if you win you get water" as he spoke he rummaged through his bag and pulled out another two bottles of water, one of which he cracked open, poured half into a bowl then started to drink the rest.

The other he tossed in Hanama's direction. "I told you, it's there to be frank. Plus I saw you training just now, you're barely able to swing that sword" regardless of if the boy caught the bottle shun would continue "Drink up, grab another if you need, then we'll spar. But not for petty bets, I wanna spar for the experience. From the brief stuff I saw now you don't look very effective against fast movers, and we have no experience against people with wide arcs. So it's a win win for all three of us"

Shun still had about a quarter of water left in the small 750ml water bottle he was holding and the bag he mentioned had a good stockpile of about 6 more. It was up to Hanama to see reason and swallow his pride even a little.
