"Yes, that was me in the stands.  Heart is a part of the group I travel with."  He wasn't really impressed by the outcome of that battle either, so the tone's a little flat.

"Name's Nathan.  Nathan Warren.  Glad to meet ya in person, Tanuki.  Probably a surprise to you, but I'm not a potential challenger today.  That'll come later.  I actually needed to speak to you about something."
