All she knew is that she was just going to find her older brother, But ended up bumping into the mist pillar instead.
There he was at his usual place around the training grounds just sitting there observing his surroundings- er, mostly the clouds.
Genya awkwardly turns around preparing herself to walk away but the younger calls out to her quietly. She glups nervously, thinking of how many more ways she's going to leave a bad impression on a pillar, who is also a boy.
"Genya," Muichiro greets. His dull, lifeless, eyes meeting Genya's, yet his lips curve up into the smallest smile. "Tokito-san.." She replies, almost surprised at how natural that sounded. The boy's hand pats down on the ground just beside him, "Come." He adds, urging Genya to sit beside him. Genya stares, unsure. But she decides that finding Sanemi can be a later problem.

Genya sits beside him now. She didn't think the whole situation through because now there's nothing but silence. All she could do was just stare at whatever Muichiro's staring at the moment, also hoping that someone-- anyone would interrupt. I mean, It's not that she dislikes boys, It's just, she somehow finds it difficult to communicate with them. And so far, the only boys she's comfortable around were Tanjiro, Inosuke, Sanemi, and Himejima. The blond idiot is also fine but Zenitsu can be pretty preverted sometimes.
Genya spares a glance at Muichiro (which took a lot of courage to do, for some reason), examining his features for a while before taking a deep breath while she mentally hoped to the Gods above that she wouldn't humilate herself of what she's about to do.
The silence still remains, and it was unbearable. So Genya decides to break it.
"Tokito-san?"
"Muichiro."
"Ah, Muichiro." Genya clears the lump in her throat, "I-I've been noticing it a lot but.."
The young pillar turns to her again.
"Why.. me?" She finally says, hoping it made sense.
"Cause you're interesting." Muichiro says bluntly as if the answer has been always that obvious. Genya blushes, turning shy almost immediately. The conversation lasted a while with Muichiro asking questions back about Genya before she runs off finding her brother. Oh well, He enjoyed it anyways.

An hour or two has passed. There was a meeting at that very moment and all the pillars would have to gather back to Ubuyashiki, For the man has important news.
Muichiro arrived last. The pillars stared at him while he walks to his spot, standing beside the insect pillar. "Muichiro!" The love pillar, Mitsuri, squeals quietly. No one minded since she does this to almost everybody. "Ne, Tokito-san. You're pretty late today." Shinobu says, chuckling beside him. He only nods.
The meeting hasn't started yet, since their master has yet to arrive. Muichiro stares far back at Sanemi before speaking, "Shinazugawa-san." The white haired male tenses up, "What?" He grumbles.
"Your sister, Genya.." he continues, obviously not fazed at how Sanemi started to glare daggers at him at the mention of his baby sister. The other pillars were staring back at the two, wanting to know what'll happen.
"What about her?"
"I want.." Muichiro blinks slowly, almost looking like as if he's thinking how to form his next words. "..her hand in marriage."
...
"You.. WHAT." Sanemi could only muster, already gripping on the hilt of his sword and walking towards the boy, Giyuu and Himejima holds him back with ease. Everything was.. chaos. Mitsuri was squealing like crazy, Shinobu could only giggle at the blunt statement, Tengen was laughing his head off while praising the mist user that it was a 'Flamboyant proposal', Kyojuro still has a big grin on but he blinks a few times in confusion thinking if he's heard that right, Obanai has his usual poker face but his eyes went huge
Ah yes, just a normal day as a Pillar..
