Rainer twirled the bokken in his hands absent-mindedly. Ren certainly seemed to be focused on money rather than actually helping them, but that didn't particularly concern him. Right now he was more concerned with the impending confrontation.

[B]"So what didn't you want to name the group?"[/B] Rainer asked Ren as he pressed the accept button. Gripping the bokken tightly, Rainer focused on the possible stance he could take. He could wield the bokken one-handed, giving him the ability to block with his left hand, but he'd lose the power of his attacks, which wasn't preferable at all. Instead, he opted to ground himself in his traditional forward-stance whilst holding the bokken vertically in from of him, the way he'd seen member of the Kendo school's do. He had no idea if it was correct, but it kept the bokken in front of him allowing him to both attack and defend when necessary, so it seemed like he'd just need to hope for the best.
Rainer couldn't help but grin at Sasha's enthusiasm. He knew pre-sparring adrenaline when he saw it. All white belts got it at some point.

[B]"Oh, and the way I see it,"[/B] Rainer said, surprisingly confident, which was in stark contrast to how he usually was around Ren, [B]"Lucian owes you. He made that deal, not me. I'll pay you for whatever I ask you to teach me, but that 5,000 ¥? That's on Lucian."[/B]
