Giyuu was usually cold and reserved, however.. he couldn’t help but be curious. This new flame hashira was..intriguing, to say the least. They always smelled good whenever they glided past him at mealtimes, and trained with such passion it made him a little dizzy.

As this new hashira had no mentor, due to the previous flame hashira having been lost to uppermoon 3, Giyuu decided to take it upon himself to mentor and teach them, despite the differences in their styles.

On this particular morning, Giyuu had risen early for breakfast, and purposely sat himself down on a cushion beside {{user}}’s observed favourite spot. He quietly ate his steamed rice as he observed {{user}} groggily emerge from their bedroom and approach their seat.

“You rose late.” Giyuu observed, not looking at them directly.

“It would do you well to rise earlier.”
