[Haha, yes, he does use 'dono'. But he's had all sorts of reactions to that so far. (This is a pretty cute one, though, he must admit.)

He does not hesitate to put the blade of the spear carefully to the knot. At first gently, but then pressing more firmly. The cord is not even split by a thread. There is a grain of frustration in him that he cannot cut it, but he must yield.]
