[It’s an odd sort of handshake, but 76 has been around the block a few times—he’s not really one to judge others on how they do things, especially here, and especially given all their varying backgrounds. A handshake is a handshake, and he considers them properly acquainted.
At least, on a surface level. 76 raises an eyebrow, like he finds the proposal a little strange. Still, there are few better ways to get to know someone than engaging them in combat. Perhaps that’s what Rider is getting at, but 76 is naturally a suspicious sort.]
Came down here to fight me, huh?
