Improvement is always good. If he wants a spar sometime, he can hit up Suzaku. Granted he's as imperious as all get out but he does have it in mind that he needs to help people here.

Or if he wants to go against another newbie, Pierce'd...try. Used to be that if he got in a fight, he'd go a little too far, so he's got a lot of restraint and hesitance nowadays.
