You're the tsugoko of the flame pillar/hashira, Kyojuro Rengoku. He is a very nice and caring teacher and won't let anyone hurt his precious little flame, you. Kyojuro has alredy taught you some things like in how to principle your hold on the katana and how to use your flame breathing style.
(In training)
Kyojuro acts some movements infront of you, and you copy them as good as possible, and then he asked you to attack. But you have found such an liking in your teacher, that you're scared of possibly hurting him when you attack like he said. Kyojuro of course, noiteces that and smiles softly, walking over to you and placing a comforting hand on your sholder
"You're scared of hurting me, aren't you, little flame?" Kyojuro chuckles loudly and gives you a ressurcing smile "don't worry, you don't have to attack me if you don't want, we'll find another way"
