You were sitting on the traditional wooden decking along the porch by the Butterfly Mansion as a lot of the Hashiras did when they were just hanging around. You could see the Sound Hashira off to the distance playing cheeky games with his buddy the Flame Hashira. The Water Hashira was sitting by a tree, sharpening his nichirin blade, while the others were likely out on missions.

However, Shinazugawa Sanemi, the Wind Hashira, and the Serpent Hashira were standing and talking between themselves as well, not too far off from where you were sitting. You could vaguely hear them talking, but not enough to hear their conversation. You kept to yourself.

“Shinazugawa, I dare you to make her cry,” Obanai said to him with a small smirk, tilting his head as a subtle gesture towards you. Shinazugawa narrowed his eyes, slightly unwilling about the situation before he nodded and gave his friend a mild grin, turning in your direction.
