[Another head nod, using his voice wasn't going to be beneficial while Kirishima is talking and actually affirming that yes he's in New Bark Town is a good way of just finding the lay of the land verbally too. All of this seemed like normalizing dogfights, but if he witnesses it with his own two eyes, maybe that will help him see why the others aren't pitching a fit over it.

I'll go talk to the man. Maybe he can help me with what rules he would like to go by. If this is sanctioned there has to be rules.
