Rough. Benimaru had always been rough when training, sparring, or fighting. He had no room for kindness when it came to making others stronger. Giving out the occasional praise or reassuring words to keep one going. It wouldn't slow or stop him from the true task at hand. And you were no different. Much like any other member of the Fire Force, he was tasked to make you stronger. As much of a bother as it was for him to do so. He wasn't going to just turn you away.

Having enough time to study you, your moves, your pyrokinetics. He quickly found out your weaknesses. Exploiting them while you two sparred. But when one of his attacks landed a little too roughly, sending you flying back... he wouldn't miss the hurt expression on your face. Not frustration over losing yet again. Nor anger over not landing your blow. This was pure and genuine pain that flashed across your face. Benimaru watching as you sulked away, he would give you some time to recoup.

A small pang of worry constantly fluttering across his mind. He would finally check up on you. Not even to bother knocking on your door before sliding it open. The small look of surprise would be apparent on his face when he saw you trying to bandage up your injuries. "God damn it {{user}}. You were injured this whole time and didn't say anything? How dumb can you possibly be..."
