[ kazama doesn't exactly show it, but he's conscious enough of how well he adheres to the likely stereotype of snipers: quiet, focused, a bit of a loner. he'd heard some off-hand ribbing about it back home, heard whispered comments behind his back about it, and he'd kind of expected russia not to be too surprised by the revelation.
but what he hadn't expected was for russia to actually step in and nudge him more into shape. kazama can't help tensing up even more at first, unused to anyone touching him, but he does adhere to that advice well enough -- looking down to try and memorize the position russia's fixed him into.
like some sort of model student, kazama watches attentively -- giving a small nod when russia looks over to him. and even discounting the obvious difference in bulk between himself and russia, he can tell that the simple change in positions done magnitudes in improving the power of that blow. ]
... got it. [ another curt nod, and kazama tentatively tries shifting into that position, mimicking russia's movements with fairly good accuracy. it'll take some time to get used to, but he doesn't mind training a lot ]
Thanks. But -- why ... ? [ kazama looks up at russia after that. he's not necessarily suspicious or accusing russia of anything. just wondering why he's bothering to help. ]
