Tagawa remained in a certain state of suspended animation as he continued to attempt deducing the nature of his new foe and why it felt off for him to have battled him now as opposed to earlier.
Was he stuck in the mud trap from earlier or perhaps was the male too far away to reach the village in time.
The lieutenant could spend quite some time trying to figure it out but realistically did not have that luxury.
He needed to defeat this person and get his hands on the blade he came here for but seeing as how this person has given him trouble, he'd need to be far more aggressive.
'' Who are you? '' Tagawa asked, his eyes locked onto the other man.
Takatsugu chuckled, the expression painted on Tagawa's face told him everything he needed to know.
Tagawa was definitely wary of him and he couldn't hide it well.
'' My name is Takatsugu Taira. Why do you ask? '' He responded.
