pale pink eyes settle on gaara as nezuko looks around, a muffled whine escaping her upon realizing tanjiro isn't present. where did he go? surely not far, but--
it isn't that she's scared of gaara, but a shyness takes hold as nezuko comes to realize the stranger is still staring at her. is he a stranger? tanjiro wouldn't have left her to continue to sleep with someone he didn't trust, so he must be okay, right?
gradually, she emerges from that box: a small form growing to true height and yet nezuko remains kneeling--trying to make herself seem small still, trying to make herself non-threatening.
mistaking gaara's own shyness for a different sort of fear, one she hopes to soothe. she won't hurt him. "mmnn..."
