[ REVIEW AND REVISE ] - The White Heron cup is mere hours away, but that still leaves plenty of time to reconsider your approach. Ask a friend for a second opinion, or drag a passerby into an impromptu rehearsal. @heirjinto
"Ah Shiro, good to see you once again." The smile on Berkut's face was a little more honest than usual, even as he looks Shiro up and down. For a moment he almost hadn't recognized Shiro. The formal outfit looks good on him, even if it contrasts against how they usually meet in the sparring grounds.
"Not our usual sparring grounds, but still quite the place to meet. Though speaking of such contests, I am fully planning on entering the White Heron cup later this evening." Berkut explains, already anticipating the event. All the better to prove his own skills, even if it's not with weapons this time.
"However I was wondering if I could get your opinion. Tell me, do you think I look good enough to impress the judges?" Berkut smirked, showing off the outfit he had chosen for the ball. "Give your honest opinion, and in return you can have one of these roses for the bouquets."
