(Enjolras, who's used to being taller than many people, hasn't fully noticed either. Oh, he's aware, but only as a vague background. Mostly what he notices instead is that Milliways is full of giants.)
He shakes his head, setting his stick aside to shrug off his coat. (After that will be the waistcoat, and the cravat. Of course he can fight in them, but there's no need to dirty and batter good outerwear when you don't have to.)
"There's padding -- for practice fights, sometimes. Canst see some in the closet there. But I doubt we'll want it for a first lesson."
Enjolras is very much playing this by ear, based on how Harry takes to it, so you never know. But he suspects the basics are going to be worthy of some practice. Longsword probably has some very significant technique differences.
