[the way genya reacts to him -- or rather, his lack of a reaction -- only affirms akaza's concerns. and as much as he doesn't harbor any true ill will for the kid, it's still a strange feeling to be increasingly worried about him.
having been a focused and purposeful hunter for so long, akaza can't quite get a casual gait to translate well; he tries to approach genya from the side, slowly, but it likely comes across as predatory nonetheless, akin to a slinking cat. still, he settles in a crouch a fair distance from the kid, just out of arm's reach for either of them.]
I was hoping to find that little Hashira with the attitude, but here you are. [... all things considered, genya can't be doing well. once again, akaza is reminded that he's never in all his years been good at this.] ... You still holding onto those beads? They're important to me.
