[There is a triumphant kind of joy in every movement, but it's not the kind that makes Souji laugh or even smile. If anything, he looks more serious than he ever does otherwise, the degree of his focus expressing itself in an intensity which might even be thought to be intimidating.
But the joy is still there, and it swells as Yamato joins in, as he follows through the movement with the ease of diligent practice. They are not as one, not mirroring each other perfectly; in a way it would be strangely lonely if they were. They're like two musicians playing the same piece, synchronized in spirit but differing in expression.
Souji starts moving faster, putting more emphasis in each movement, knowing without having to look that Yamato will sense the shift and keep up with him. His bare feet are whispering acros the floor, his breathing never hitching even as he starts to feel the exertion, every movement also precise that it makes only the faintest sound. It's a perfect rhythm, smooth and controlled, and it barely changes at all the moment Souji swings around and swipes low against Yamato's abdomen.
Even so, he's already preparing for the other Shinki's parry.]
