"My friends, please make no move to interfere. It would dishonor me, and my opponent would pretend it would dishonor him. And more importantly, it would dishonor the duel." he answers, without otherwise moving a muscle.
His eyes follow the movement, but his stance doesn't change.
"My name is Kazuhiro Hajime, samurai in service to Emperor Go-Fushimi and Shogun Hisaaki, and by extension their honorable representatives. Your insults will not bother me, as they are not accurate. I do not care how you address me, but you will address your cousin as your better, or you will not speak... a righteous woman of the Empire should not be suffered the tongues of cowards."
His hand shifts ever so slightly on the hilt, but he neither grips it, nor starts to draw.
"I am samurai - you are a coward. I have already won this duel. The right to begin flailing about with your sword first is yours."
