Tim raised an eyebrow at that, hidden by the cowl. He didn't mind the suggestion at all-- he just hadn't quite expected it. But he smirked again, a bit pleased, and nodded, turning to face Zouichi fully. He'd watched him fight, but this was something new. A good opportunity, if nothing else.

"All right then," he said, nodding, and shifting into a defensive stance. He'd dealt with metas before (sparring and real fights) and could hold his own better than most seemed to expect of him. He knew Zouichi was certainly more than capable, though-- and given Tim's injury... "Sounds like fun."
