Mitsuru returns the nod with one of her own, before focusing on the stance. She gives a small 'hmm' in the back of her throat, before giving a careful circle about him; weapon lowered all throughout, to show there's no sparring to be had just yet.
"Not bad, to begin with." Mitsuru's heels click on the floor as she paces about, examining the stance. She tilts her head here and there, making her bangs fall across her eyes one moment before brushing them back the next. "However... try raising your off-hand back a touch, away from yourself. Let it act as a counter-balance for your lunge. It also stays away from anything that may attempt to skewer it."
She breaks from her examination at that, and returns to her original spot, demonstrating with her own hand. But her eyes remain narrowed in thought.
"But... permit me to make a guess? This isn't the first time you've raised a sword... if not necessarily a rapier. Am I correct?" A touch forthright, but this new comer is presenting a very curious enigma to her. A touch awkward, but experienced; it can't keep from raising her own curiosity.
