TOO BAD BECAUSE TENKA LIKES OONA SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO MUCH

another case of Tenka's absurd amount of platonic, familial love. Except it's harder to compare to his love for the kids in the village because Oona's a bit older than them, but he still cares for her just as much in terms of wanting to take care of her and making sure that she's happy and safe whenever possible. but basically she alerted his aniki senses really fast.... as soon as she started stumbling over her words and being unsure how to convey her emotions to him, he basically switched gears and wanted to help her. it only became more prevalent when she told him that she's a mermaid and not.... even a part of this human culture and yet she's trying to adapt to it!!

but it's part of why he loves talking to her so much. learning about her background and her family and how everything works where she came from - because that's what Tenka does!! he relates to people on the emotional level and he treasures his family above all else. so Oona feeling so strongly about hers and wanting to go back to them so badly that she cried over it...... he understood because he feels the same thing every single day but he can't cry. so he let her cry for both of them and just held her close and made a promise in his heart that he'll return her to them one day.

because Tenka's mad.... about what happened to her. he doesn't even understand it completely, but he can grasp her hatred of humans because of what was done to her. He thinks that if he didn't have the village and his brothers to smile and stay happy for, he would've even adopted a similar attitude. so he wants to be there for Oona the same way that his brothers and the villagers were there for him. He wants to be her warmth and the source of her strength and her happiness, even though it's selfish of him to think that. But if he can be even slightly as successful as his brothers were for him, then that's all he needs.

Otherwise, he's only off-put by her nonchalance toward killing and hurting other people because those people also have families. Tenka hates killing but he's capable of forgiving those who do it..... and he knows that Oona's a special case. regardless, he's always going to try to caution her away from it, just because that's how he is and how he thinks. He doesn't blame her for wanting to inflict pain on others, not at all, but god it hurts him to see her do it. if only because he fears that one day she may regret it - if she ever realizes that not all humans are truly as bad as she thinks. he may pull the card out one day "what if our circumstances were different and you killed me before you got to know me?" but he's trying to keep that from happening for as long as possible

because in truth, as important as those serious discussions are, he just... wants to see her smile. like I just posted on the hot or not, Tenka loves her smile. He loves how beautiful she is when she finds something that interests her and catches her attention. he loves how she's so uniquely herself even when it's not in line with human culture, even if sometimes her culture gives him a headache. Tenka just sincerely and genuinely loves her like family and wants to protect not only her life but also her happiness. god, he'd fight tooth and nail for even a chance at her being really, truly happy

because it doesn't matter to him if they're not the same species or not of the same mindset when it comes to valuing human life because she really is just. his precious little sister.

who the fuck is cutting onions up in here how rude

but hnngn tenkaaa cries deeply. i love them so much. It always makes me laugh SO HARD how they went from sniping at each other when they first met to being siblings and OONA STILL DOESN'T KNOW WHAT ANIKI MEANS SHE THINKS IT'S JUST SOME WEIRD NICKNAME god when she finds out she's going to be so flustered but she can't even be mad. Bc it's true, tenka is her big bro.

also: "what if our circumstances were different and you killed me before you got to know me?" PLEASE..... I NEED THIS IN MY LIFE... she'd be so shocked and it'd be awful/amazing. ONE DAY...
