“Woah, woah, woah!!” Kyōjurō follows the sword around in the air with his eye, noting the luck of a lack of soft objects that could potentially be in the boy’s way. Regardless of the carelessness, he can’t help but beam proudly at the younger. His excitement was infectious and he doubted anyone would be immune. “That’s no way to handle your blade there, Tanjirou! You’ve got great spirit today though, nicely done! Tell me about this wall you’ve overcome.”

Kyōjurō plopped himself onto the ground, feeling like it would be fine to break away from the tasks at hand to catch up with the boy. Admittedly, he hadn’t been able to be involved in Tanjirou’s training, not yet at least. If the butterfly girls saw him out with a sword in his hand one more time he might be permanently banished to bedrest for eternity. “I am thrilled to hear you be so excited about your progress!”

Mid-day. His stomach lets out a loud growl, startling the boy. Then he laughs, loud and sheepishly. "That's embarrassing," reaching into a sack, Tanjirou reveals a small bundle. Tanjirou unrolls it to reveal two onigiri. He is indeed hungry: the brine of the rice vinegar smells extremely tantalizing. Oh, but his manners: the boy offers one out to Kenshin. "I know it's not much, but here! You need to keep your strength up, too."

“Oro?” he looks back at his companion, Kenshin had since taken a rather relaxed stance, arms folded inside the torse of his clothes, back straight, walking as if he knew the forest very well. the Boy produces food. It was hard to tell the time, the sun was not visible through the obstructing canopy after all, and he didn’t have the money for a pocket watch.

“Ah? No no, you should eat that. You are young and need to grow still.” gently he pushes the package back toward Tanjiro. “Plus, a place like this is full of things to eat.” 

To show this he takes a few larger strides forward toward a small cluster of weeds. With a simple movement, he uses the sharp blade of on the backside of sakabatou to cut several of them. Stalks and buds. 

“Like this. Butterbur is naturally bitter but really can keep one strong.” he was especially good with this sort of thing. He hands the boy a stalk after he brushes the dirt off, then bites into his own, obviously unphased by the bitter taste.
