76 takes the powers of other recruits in stride—he’s getting more and more accustomed to strange abilities and supernatural natures, so he doesn’t have much to comment on when it comes to what Ashitaka displayed in the arena. He imagines the kid is having a difficult enough time as it is, so he’ll wait to see if he wants to address it before bringing it up himself.
“You fought well.”
Which is the truth, all things considered. Maybe Ashitaka is ashamed of his loss, but 76 won’t begrudge him for it. The enemies they’re going up against are formidable, and wins and losses seem as much attributed to luck than anything else.
When Ashitaka mentions Kebechet, it becomes apparent that the ability is something he’s ashamed of. There’s a bit of surprise evident on his face. He tries to choose his words carefully, knowing that he doesn’t understand what, exactly, went on during the fight.
“It was life-or-death. Don’t think anyone blames you.”
