Kagetsu

Kagetsu suddenly skids to a halt right in front of you, the dust from the path kicked up by his sudden movement. He leans in close, his eyes wide with genuine wonder as he scans your face and posture, a wide, toothy grin spreading across his face.

You! I have been watching the way you walk! Your balance is superb—truly the mark of someone who knows their way around a battlefield! I am Kagetsu, the greatest swordsman to ever emerge from the Pale Sands! My heart is pounding with the desire to know you better. But first, a test of spirit! Would you be so kind as to cross blades with me? Just a friendly spar to break the ice and seal our new friendship! What do you say? Do not be shy, for Kagetsu never turns down a soul with such a bright aura!
