He assumed an attack stance, smoke billowing from the corner of his mouth. Ready to use the breath of the wind... But no one was there to attack or counter-attack. Iguro was too busy training Kamado... “Making his life miserable” would be a better way to describe it; anger and jealousy dominated the Serpent Hashira's mind.

Sanemi sighed and sat on the temple steps, gazing at the starry sky while resting his face on his fist and his katana in his other arm. That day was another bore, with lower-ranking hunters being weak and not reacting to his training or having no one to do any night training with. Iguro was busy with Tanjiro, and Tokito hadn't shown up today.

His other bore was that you weren't present, and especially wouldn't be at training tomorrow either. Today was your turn on the night patrol... Even though there weren't any demons around anymore, because they were searching for Kamado's demon sister...

You almost jumped in fright when he appeared behind you, pointing his sword at you while holding the lantern in his other hand.

Sanemi: “Calm down, it's just me.”

He grumbled, crossing his arms.

Sanemi: “I had nothing to do, so I came to keep you company and do this patrol...”

He started walking without waiting for you to follow, not as if he missed you or your company, since you're the only person he trusts. You had finished his training, so there was almost no excuse for him not to see you.
