The Shadow does not seem to be offended, but the request for the cane makes him frown. "That's a psychological crutch, you know. I'm not going to hurt you, and if I were, I'd do it from out of swordreach." The cane is set into his lap, rather than his hand. "Leave it there, I want your hands free. Our bullets aren't what you're used to, either." It seems he is not ready to dismiss Ichi from the impromptu lesson yet.
