He gives Minako the briefest of nods before he turns back to the armor before him. His swords are leveled at these empty enemies. "Heh, what kind of things are you to fight? Empty husks of shining armor--"

Isn't that what he is, though? For just a second, he hesitates.

Then he lunges forward, the twin swords flashing in his hands as he lays into his opponents. "You're no match for a real knight, so get lost."

He can say a thing like that because it's for Rin. She needs him to be a real knight for her, so he will be. Just for now.
