OONA BABE...

Okay so Sousei's thoughts on Oona are refreshingly straightforward, because Oona is refreshingly straightforward. Seriously. He wishes everyone was as honest as Oona. They should all get right on that. Her personality in general already endears him to her, because she doesn't waste time, she doesn't mince words, and she says what she thinks. There's no subterfuge, no ridiculous politics, nothing. Just flat out Oona's thoughts and opinions and after all of the politics he's dealt with and people like Tenka, who like to hide everything behind a smile, it's refreshing as hell.

Then there's also the fact that Oona's circumstances are something Sousei can relate to a lot. Not necessarily on a personal level of "i've been there and experienced that", but more in a "i understand exactly where you're coming from". He's from the Abe family, even if he didn't spend any actual time with them. More than anyone, he understands the divide between humans and non-humans--and also how nonexistent that divide can be sometimes. So no, she isn't a monster to him. She's non-human, yes, she's a mermaid, which he accepts easily, but that does not make her a monster, and her personality does not either, and so she's not one. It's simple, to him.

Because he accepts her beliefs on humans too. She calls them monsters. She's right. Sousei's family were monstrous too, in a neglectful way. The people who experimented on Tenka were monsters. Iwakura is a monster, willing to let hundreds of people die for his own gain. So of course he'll protect her, if she needs it. He doesn't have Tenka's starry-eyed optimism; he knows that sometimes, you can't talk people out of their preconceived ideas. So if anyone ever tries to hurt her for not being human, he will sure be there to slam some sense into their heads with the blunt end of his sword. She's definitely been taken under his wing at the very least.

That all said, he knows she's competent, so when she offered to help him look out for Tenka and he accepted, that wasn't an empty acceptance. He doesn't say things he doesn't mean. He really will be trusting her to look out for Tenka's well-being when he isn't being quite sensible, and considers her an equal when it comes to that.

Someday, he intends to ask her more about her experiences, because he thinks it's better to talk about them than to bottle them up, and if she needs more reassurance, he's willing to tell her more about the Yamainu too--she's still the only person who knows their true purpose, but as someone who has gone through what she has, he knows that he can trust her with it.

just stop invading his personal space oona why
