It seems like a lot of people had strange hair or eye colors. That doesn't mean they weren't human.

[Why would strange physical characteristics mark you out as not being human? He could understand if it was something like pointed elf ears, but something as plain as hair or eye color...? That's just dumb.]

All right, here goes.

[Dante starts slowly, mimicking Sorey's movements when he attacked just a couple minutes ago. He tries a strike from above first, still at that slow practice speed, then takes the momentum from the block to curve around for an attack on Sorey's right side. But here he diverges from the forms they've been working in, as his left hand comes off the hilt. He holds it in his right hand, whipping the sword around Sorey's wrist to free his blade, then continuing the swing in a circle so that the next attack is coming up from below.

It's almost instinctive, though his motions are still telling enough that Sorey can probably block it if he tries. But it's obvious on Dante's face that this move isn't one he'd thought about, and that he's not entirely certain where it came from.]
