....we meet again. Right.
He supposed there were worse people he could be facing off against in terms of levels of irritation, but it did little to lessen the feeling in the moment. Carsyn was a lot of the traits that he did not fancy when thinking of Gryffindor and he often found himself concerned as to whether or not his beautiful mum had been this annoying during her school days. Surely not, even if they both wore perfect badges for the same house.
"Yeah...just like any other day," he replied dryly as he went through the initial motions of dueling etiquette, though his own beginning stance was not among the variety taught in European schools but one based in ancient martial arts practices. The teachings of his uncle, Defense Against the Dark Arts professor and headmaster over at Himitsumahou. His legs in fudô dachi, the stance of immovability and unobstructed awareness of everything, he clutched his wand firmly to his side with his wand hand while the other arm stretched out towards his opponent with the palm facing her.
....and then nothing. No spell came his direction at all. Rather it seemed she had cast a shielding charm upon herself. Disappointing and curious, he supposed.
Taking preemptive measures himself and recalling his uncle's preaching on the emphasis of mobility and fluidity of one's movements - a coursing river, if you will - Eiji administered a Feather-light Charm to himself to making himself even lighter on his toes than he already was thanks to kendo and performance calligraphy and considered the addition of a Supersensory Charm but opted against it.
Ball was in her court and in case she was unobservant ought to know that he was not, typically, the one to attack first. Unless you were named Calloway and were in some corridor with his little sister. Then all bets were off.
