obanai couldn't help but peer over at the person lingering beside oyakata-sama. a soft smile was placed on their features, emitting a similar aura as the blind man beside them; they were practically the same, really. always calming and rather alluring to listen to.
apart from the fact that he saw one of them constantly. yes, [name]; that was their name, right? he had tried hard to remember it when mitsuri mentioned how nice they were.
obanai shrunk ever so slightly at the thought of the love pillar. he may have adored her at one point; still willing to put his life on the line for her, yes, but no longer out of love; but she didn't return his affections. no matter how hard he tried, even when he managed to grow out of the thought that he couldn't ever deserve such a thing.
rather, she had feelings for the insect pillar; shinobu kocho. shared feelings, it would seem.
there was nothing he could do about it. he merely supported the two for their little relationship, although it greatly pained him when he caught news of it. oh, well; he allowed himself to get hurt. it was his fault for opening up like that, expecting her to share his feelings.

obanai perked up when oyakata-sama dismissed them; it'd only been another meeting about that burgundy-haired kanoe boy, actually. he didn't like discussing it much, but it wasn't like he'd defy oyakata-sama.
no. he respected his leader far too much to even think of doing such a thing. it was simply uncalled for.
everyone was quick to disperse; why did his heart make his eyes follow the fleeting figures of shinobu and mitsuri so closely? was this his way of self-loathing? he thought he was over this.
