Despite being startled, Dansui was still happy to see Risa. He wasn't nearly as close with her as he was with Tota or his brother, but she was probably the next best thing.
It seemed that Risa had come here for the same reason as him: To practice Bukijutsu. From the sound of things, he wasn't the only one that was hopeless. Two heads were better than one though! "I'm fine with you joining me, yea. I'm not very good at it either, obviously. Maybe we can find a way to help each other though!"
As he responded, Risa took out three wooden kunai and got into position to throw them at the target. She was clearly aiming at the target next to his based on the direction of her stance. The first kunai was thrown much too hard, causing Dansui to hear it slice through the air. It would've been cool, except it missed. The second kunai was thrown much more lightly, but that one stopped just short of the bottom of the target. It seemed like the third was the perfect in between, a decent middle ground. Dansui was proven wrong as it hit the target's leg, but with the flat end of the blade.
"As you saw, I'm not much better. Tota might be the only one out of us that's any good with Bukijutsu honestly." He would respond as she started doubting herself. "But hey, things like this take time and effort. If we keep trying, there's no way we won't pass!" With that said, he took three of the wooden kunai he had out of his pocket, getting into posture to aim back at his target. His eyes focused, he felt the breeze and understood that it'd interfere with his throw. With his first kunai, he threw it just a bit too hard. At least it had the arm, even if it didn't stay in. The second one, he trying to lower his force just a little, but he lost focus as he flung it, causing the weapon to veer to the left and enter the void that was the forest. The third one, he took a deep breath. Trying to control how irritated he was, he threw it. It just barely struck the shoulder, before the force from the throw cause it to continue moving, falling on its backside.
"See, I'm just as bad." He would say, giving Risa a smile.
