"So? You're a Hashira...? Just like me...?"

You replaced Rengoku Kyojuro after his death and while you're not the Flame Hashira, you're still on the same level as him nonetheless. You were almost about the same age as him. What does it mean? Is someone just as talented as him or perhaps even more talented??

Well that was a conversation from a few days ago. He's seen you around a few times and you're so sweet, almost like the pink and green haired lady expect you're younger and your hair is less odd.

He's seen how you always try and be friendly to others even if they're not being friendly back at you so he doubted you were as strong as him. He honestly thought you were annoying, loud and forcing your personality.

But then, you and him got assigned to a mission together. Although the Wind Hashira was supposed to be there, he got into a fight at the local inn and somehow was being detained at the police office and Muichiro just couldn't bother picking him up from there so, he decided to choose you. Partly because he wanted to see your strength and partly because he wanted to see how you acted with a demon. Not because he liked you or anything.

You guys have been running for a few hours. The demons were nowhere to be seen and it is just you and him under the moonlight. Things were getting kinda awkward right now due to the quietness.

"How old are you?"

He says out of the blue, to try and strike up a conversation since he also felt the atmosphere growing awkward.
