[Satoru's never really been one to easily share a rink. When he was at home, first discovering that his abilities on the ice weren't like that of the other kids, it was because he easily outpaced them and couldn't understand why they couldn't keep up. By the time he started training and realized he had something rough but exceptional to offer, most of the people who might've otherwise been there had drifted off, put off by his intensity and closed off style. Finally, when he'd had his breakthrough to professional skating, well, you just didn't share ice then. You had to make it your own.
So when the atmosphere changes just for a second after their hands (gloves) touch, he's a little surprised, but it fades as soon as Sawamura opens his mouth. This is the person he has to learn to share with?
Does he not see that yelling just makes him messier?
Satoru just watches for a moment, unable to see much difference except that Sawamura certainly looks like he's working really hard. It's that observation that gets him to follow after, though. He's not letting anybody work harder than he does, especially not someone he's going to have to perform with instead of against.
Right now, however, it's one hundred percent against. Satoru bends low in an imitation of a speed skater and works to catch up to Sawamura. Who knew he could sprint like that?]
