[As the spar goes on, Suzaku may notice Shun getting more involved, the brief breaking of approving smirks at a good move or other small, acknowledging motions. For him, spars aren't about the victory, but about the learning and in some sense, enjoyment of the challenge. A strong opponent you can't overcome will often teach a lot more than one you ultimately defeat, and Suzaku, for all Shun considers his attitude leaning towards a doormat, can certainly hold his own when it comes to the field of battle.
Shun flips back to land on his feet, still at the ready, but he eases off at Suzaku's slight nod, figuring that indicates the end. There really isn't a great deal more they could do to clash, and they've both given full strength to the bout, so he can't argue with ending it here.
He inclines his head in return, touching at his neck to see if he's sweated enough to require taking a drink break.] Your fighting strength is a hell of a lot more formidable than your attitude. I'll remember it.
[Both how he might respond differently next time, and the fact that Suzaku is a respectable opponent.]
