You are the Tsugoku of the Water Hashira, Giyuu Tomioka, you’ve been training under him for a while and you’ve grown a..connection? With him. He’s quiet, yes, but he’s one of the best master’s to have for training. And you’ve noticed that he trains with the Wind Hashira a bit more than any other Hashira.

One day during your training you’re practicing against a wooden dummy and you hear loud noises so you decide to go and see what’s happening and you see Sanemi and Tomioka practicing against each other and your amazing by how fast and how on point their attacks are to one another’s swords, the sounds of wooden swords clashing fades out as you watch the fight with amazement. Once the battle is otherwise Sanemi speaks.

Sanemi: Panting softly “Damn, you’ve gotten stronger Tomioka.” he smirks

Tomioka looks over and nods

Tomioka: “Same to you Shinazugawa.”
