For a moment, Katana just didn't answer. At all.

The only notable motion on him was the barn owl, getting all comfy again, before it began grooming for loose feathers within its underwing.

Katana squinted his upper eyelid.

（( Why am I looking at you like that? )）

He repeated. Subtly adjusting his sitting position.

（( How long do you plan to not say a word? )）

Katana's voice became quieter.

Once again, there were exactly two ways to interpret what was he doing.

...The latter option was likely making him nervous again. If it is exactly what he suspected.

• Katana not going easy on bro.. the mental gymnastics kinda crazy /j

“ eeeeeeeeee … ”

a long, drawn-out squeal escaped shuriken's lips, and he felt his heart drop as katana's words hung in the air.

‘ how long do you plan to stay silent? ’

panic washed over him, and he almost shrank back, wishing he could disappear.

‘ phuuuuuuuuuuuuck, i’m so dead… ’ shuriken thought, desperately trying to keep his face neutral while locking eyes with katana. even as he was sweating bullets, however, the mounting panic of the weight of his double-life was starting to fray at the edges.

this was no ordinary tea time chat; it felt like a scene from a suspenseful thriller, and he couldn’t help but wonder if this was precisely why they rarely spent time together.

screw this! he's losing his grip!

“ say a word about what !? ”

he barked out louder than intended, letting the silence after sit for 5 more seconds before he drinks more of his matcha nervously.

Note from Admin: LET ME FEED ALL OF YOU WITH YAOI.

╭────────── 𖥸

The atmosphere tonight was lively.

Even with the unspoken gloom that clung like a second skin to the Mercenary, the bar he frequented goes on like usual:

chatter! -.. chatter? .- chatter

-. chatter... --. chatter . chatter?!

. chatter chatter~ .

chatter - chatter!!

With the thoughts that swirled within his mind, the chatter of the other Inphernals went in one ear and out the other.

The Capital was the centerhub of all four regions however. News of what's going on would reach ears, words exchange, maybe some details lost along the way...

It was an unreliable source. You can never be sure if it's just rumors some bored bloke started, or it had a trinkle of substance.

...

The Bartender has been keeping an eye out, as there was.. alot more chatter going on more than usual.

" At this point, it's hard to tell what's genuine or not.."

The Bartender muttered quietly to themselves, cleaning a empty glass that still had leftover froth from a previous patron. They were situated adjacently to Hyperlaser.

" ... Do you want another one? "

They offered in a mindful volume, with a hint of slight.. nervousness. You can never be too wary afterall, even if its a Inphernal you've seen quite often within your space. Besides, the Inphernal picked up on the 'mood' going for him.. he seemed to be dazing off.

But before he might try to answer—

-. chatter.. -. chatter -. chatter

chatter --- chatter. -- chatter ..

chatter!! -. chatter --. chatter

" -and within one night, everything was gone!— "

SKKREE!

A sharp cry rang out, immediately piercing through the chatter. It even caused the Bartender to sit up straighter, and their eyes to widen. Their head swiveled from Hyperlaser to the door.

" Go off now. Be mindful of the corvids. "

—That voice.

a familiar Inphernal has arrived. 20 minutes of solitude had came to an end.

flap! flap!

The chatter has died down just a tadbit from the sudden screech. Sounded like a barn owl.

" -the hell? " ... " WHERE IS IT?! " " HCHCHKS— "

" you okay buddy? " --- " —yeah im fine man! "

" oomf- " --- " my drink... :C " -.

" Oh! your friend's here! "

The Bartender whispered quickly, their temporary fright quickly subsiding when realizing it was just one of their frequent patrons.

They sounded somewhat a tadbit hopeful. As if they hoped he could bring him out of his headspace.

clink...

clink

clink!

" Good evening. "

Katana had finally arrived. As he peers down at Hyperlaser.

He stood next to the seat he was meant to occupy. He did not sat down yet.

☕︎ ──────────╯

[ It was loud in here tonight, busier than usual. Hyper frequented this place often.. It was at a lower level and pretty normal looking so nobody strange or wanting his head would likely come in here. No fights ever broke out and it was always so calm and causal, the perfect place to drink and unwind in peace. ]

[ Hyperlaser stared down at the bottom of his near empty glass, watching the ice swirl around. He lifted his head as he heard the bartender speak as he looked at him opening his mouth to speak before being suddenly interrupted by what sounded like an owls cry. It didn't disturb him like it did the other bar patrons as he knew who it was... Hyperlaser lifted his head and silently ordered another glass under his breath not needing to look back at the door like the others, things like this didnt disturb him. ]

[ The mercenary finally turned his attention to Katana standing next to him by his usual seat, giving a curt nod as a welcome. ]

Hey. Good to see you again.

[ Hyperlaser sat up slightly. He was very happy to see Katana again, it had been awhile since the two of them were able to meet and talk like this. With both of them being so busy wit their own issues and jobs it was difficult to set time aside.. Though the issue was more Hyperlaser than Katana. Blackrock was a rather unrelenting faction after all. ]

（( As same it is for you, Friend. )）

Katana seems to have squinted his eye from within the mask. Although the 'wise sage' trait of his is still there, it's noticably more loose this evening.

（( I apologize for taking a.. considerable amount of time to get out of the bath. )）

Katana finally sat down beside Hyperlaser. His atitre shifted, and there was a faint 'clink! clink!' as he does so. The ring around one of his dark-red bull horns glinted brilliantly under the bar's light.

（( I dozed off briefly. )）

The Bartender walked off temporarily from the duo, as a patron waves them over.

The atmosphere was now much more lighter.. less jarbled, and more stable for Hyperlaser.

Katana's presence, whether he would want to admit it or not.. was grounding.

He simply just had a way of making the room feel less suppressed... in a way that Hyperlaser can't exactly pinpoint how.

（( I hope to not have kept you waiting for long? )）

Katana rests his hands on the bar counter. Still maintaining 'eye contact' with Hyperlaser.

“ holy shit ! katana ?? "

mask off. make sure he doesn't notice.

he rushed over to katana, completely ignoring the owl currently holding a talon full of bux. who cares about thievery right now when his neighbor was finally out of his home!

“ heyy ! it's really you! "

he ran up to hug katana, but before he could hug the guy, he froze up completely before backing away and giggling, voicr quieter than before as he rubbed the back of his neck. it was then, in that moment, that he noticed the bird.

“ … sorry ! i forgot you don't do the whole … hugging thing without permission. oh, sick bird by the way ! ”

Note from Admin: YESSS ive summoned the Thieves Den Peopleejrnskw... also yes, you are allowed to reblog! and I just woke up.. that's the only reason why I didn't respond instanously... (im obsessed with roleplaying dont be shy)

╭────────── 𖥸

（( Hm? )）

Katana and his avian companion, Teru turned to look at Shuriken in a uncanny sync. The lone ring of gold on Katana's red upper bull horns glinted faintly in the dim light of the sunset.

（( Ah. It's you. )）

SCREE!

（( He is greeting you aswell. )）

Katana didn't flinch whatsoever when Shuriken almost wrapped his arms around to hug him. At that, he only merely cocked his head to the side.. with Teru following the same motion as it's life-long companion.

（( It is fine. You didn't mean to. )）

Katana adjusted his body so that he would be facing in Shuriken's direction properly. There was a faint tiny 'clink!' when he turned around.

（( Good evening, Shuriken. With how quick you were to run up to me, Im assuming there is something to be asked of me? )）

Katana kept his head tilted, as he formally greets Shuriken this time.. full attention is on Shuriken now. Evidently so, with the way his eye is staring dead-on at the former Darkage Ninja.

...

Teru adjusted it's grip on the bundle of bux it managed to get its claws on from earlier. The barn owl slowly scooted downwards, just abit from Katana's shoulder.. as if trying to meet Shuriken at eye-level.

☕︎ ──────────╯

Notes:

• Katana seems to be relaxed, and remained undisturbed by the fact that Shuriken was this close to hugging him.

• Teru is curious. (but guarding the bux it snagged very closely to its talons)

shuriken's grin grew as katana's gaze was fixed on him. that owl was certainly katana's; he's sure of it! How cool it was for his friend to have such a beautiful bird by his side.

the young inphernal reached out a hand, curious about the presence of a bird with his samurai friend. however, just as quickly as he extended his fingers, the Inphernal hesitated, retracting his hand and slipping it back into the safety of his pockets.

“ oh, i wasn't … asking you of anything ! ”

shit he had no plan, did he?

his eyes darted briefly to the side, a hint of distraction flickering across his face, before settling back on the owl perched before him. to steady his racing thoughts, he focused on the creature’s magnificent wings, reaching out to touch their soft feathers.

“ this fluffy bird's name is teru ? sounds cool … ”

╭────────── 𖥸

（( Careful. )）

Katana's eye seems to briefly widen when Shuriken reached out to try to touch the barn owl's wings—

SCREEE!

—Katana reached out with his free hand to halt Shuriken's hand, gripping his wrist in a firm but characteristically gentle manner.

（( ... You can't touch a owl's wings. Or back. )）

He quickly tried to give a small lesson on bird-handling to Shuriken, before they'll move on.

（( Trying to touch them in those areas... stimulate a certain stress response. Those areas are not touched by anything but their partner. )）

He hoped.. Shuriken got what he was trying to say.

Teru flapped his wings briefly... and held them out in a sprawled motion. As if the avian was shocked itself.

（( ... )）

Katana slowly lets go of Shuriken's wrist, before using the same hand to gently scritch the top of Teru's head.

...

The avian slowly brought his wings down.

（( The head however, is a safe spot to touch. No room for misinterpretations.. and avian confusion. )）

Katana quickly added. While he was talking, he slowly pried the bux from his companion's talons, just incase it wished to hop onto Shuriken's shoulder.

☕︎ ──────────╯

shuriken nearly jerked his hand away from katana before he registered the gentleness in katana's firm grip.

he blinked twice as katana softly scratched the owl on its head—the same hand that had almost startled shuriken.

“ okay ... the head …”

he completely understood why the owl might be feeling nervous. after all, if someone were to unexpectedly reach out and touch his chest—or any other part of him—he would get uncomfortable, too.

it’s all about that element of surprise, isn’t it? as a master of his craft, of course, he would know.

shuriken nodded.

“ yeah … i got it ! ”

he smiled, brighter than the sun. his hand then reached out to the owl's head, with his voice just as soft as katana's handling of the bird.

“ i just wanted to talk to you, i've been … bored. "

simply put, he missed talking to someone he considered a mentor, maybe even a father.

╭────────── 𖥸

（( ... )）

Katana tilts his head to the other side, pocketing the bux he picked up from his avian. This time, Teru did not mimic the same motion.

SCREE!

Teru like Katana expected, hopped onto Shuriken's wrist first, before scooting side-to-side trying to get up to his shoulder—

—OW- OW– THE BIRD MEANS WELL BUT THE TALONS ARE SHARP AND TIGHT!

（( I see. )）

Katana commented simply. He uncorked his head, and blinked slowly. The middle-ranked samurai did not bat an eye at his companion clambering up the young Inphernal's shoulder.

（( And your siblings? )）

（( ... Normally I would see you accompanied by the other two. )）

Katana seems a tadbit puzzled why Shuriken wasn't with them.

（( ... )）

Katana slowly squinted his eye.

SCREE!

☕︎ ──────────╯

Notes:

• Katana is suspectin that Shuriken is feeling particularly clingy this evening.

Notes from Admin:

• Katana sees everything /j

• Let me steal that hc rq.. /silly

• Also just a tiny funfact.. it was mentioned in the other post that Teru is occasionally sent over to the Thieves' Den trio's room to deliver mail written by Katana.. its not necessary considering how close they are to eachother, but Katana wants to keep his barn owl stimulated and happy.. so he still makes it do its intended job on a occasion (he's a good dad whether he realizes or not)

“ gwah ! !”

shuriken yelped, instinctively freezing in place as the barn owl perched on his shoulder dug its talons into his flesh. damn, those talons hurt like tiny knives on his shoulder!

“and what about your siblings?”

the question landed softly, full of the warmth and understanding reminiscent of a father speaking to his son. it caused shuriken to halt, his heart racing.

the barn owl nibbled at its wing, completely unfazed, while shuriken straightened his back against the railing, flinching as the owl screeched dangerously close to his ear.

“ uh … w-well… um … ”

he released a breath that came out as more of a hurried laugh than the disgruntled sigh he intended.

the truth was, he’d rather die than confess how clingy he felt toward anyone. the thought of burdening them gnawed at him.

but the loneliness weighed heavier without his siblings by his side.

“ ahem ! i-i was … erm … training ! for something … for lunch rush … at thieves' rest, totally ! haha ! ”

shuriken scrambled for an excuse, desperate to clear away the thick, awkward tension but avoided meeting katana's gaze, his cheeks burning bright with embarrassment.

╭────────── 𖥸

（( ... )）

Katana's "expression" did not change in the slightest.

He already can see through him, can't he?

...

As if to add to Shuriken's embarrasment, Teru also slowly turned corked its head to look at him. Like he was judging him as much as it's master.

（( ... Right. )）

Said the middle-ranked samurai, with the most unconvinced tone Shuriken has heard out of him in awhile.

（( ... If you are trying to hide from your siblings, you might aswell do it efficiently. )）

Huh?-

Oh! He's already moving- back inside.

（( ... )）

He did not looked back over his shoulder to Shuriken, as he ducked down the doorway he came from.

SCREE!

Almost as if Teru is trying to snap Shuriken out of it, it screeched just as Katana got inside.

☕︎ ──────────╯

Notes from Admin:

• Translation: Get yo BUTT inside here boy. /j

• Wdym, Shuriken is SO subtleee.. I definitely couldn't tell at all!!!

“ wha- heyy !! ”

shuriken trailed behind katana as they both entered the apartment, a mix of nerves and determination bubbling inside him. he fumbled for excuses, each one more desperate than the last, hoping to find something that would ease the tension crackling between them.

“ i'm not ‘hiding’ why on earth would i be hiding from them ? ”

gradually, the tightness in his muscles began to ease, as if the weight of the world was being lifted from his shoulders.

katana's house welcomed him with unexpected warmth, a cosy retreat that felt like a comforting embrace. The air was infused with a delightful scent of maple, wrapping around him like a soft blanket.

he took a deep breath, savouring the sweet, autumnal aroma that filled the room. Instantly, a sense of calm washed over him—it was the perfect atmosphere he needed to quiet his racing thoughts.

“ i just needed a change of space, y'know ? you get me, right ? ”

shuriken's weak attempts at excuses had become almost comical. his sheepish grin and playful demeanour revealed his true feelings, almost shouting, “ i want to be by your side because I’ve missed you so much. ”

╭────────── 𖥸

（( I understand. )）

Katana did not look over his shoulder just yet, as he moved with grace for a Inphernal his size. He moved ahead of Shuriken.

...

（( It can get somewhat overwhelming, hm? )）

SCREE!

Teru briefly flapped his wings to instead position himself on Shuriken's head— ow-

（( I'll be brewing some tea. Do you have a preference for a flavor? )）

From the small kitchen, Katana was easily visible. He finally looked over his shoulder at Shuriken (and Teru).. holding a quite detailed ceramic teapot.

☕︎ ──────────╯

Notes from Admin:

• Katana isn't even aware that he's a great figure to be around with...

“ teru … ”

shuriken let out a soft whine as teru perched atop his head. the owl exuded an air of calm, but those sharp talons were dangerously close to making a mess of his hairline.

shuriken's gaze remained intense, fixated on the delicate ceramic teacup that katana cradled in the kitchen. His ears perked up, tingling with anticipation for the soothing ritual of tea time with katana.

“ do you still have some matcha ? if not, i can take some water. ”

shuriken found his perfect perch, settling on the nearby table with effortless grace. he crouched there, knees tucked to his chest, looking a bit awkward but completely at ease, much like the little bird perched atop his head.

his smile radiated an infectious, giddy excitement, reflecting the joy he felt at the thought of spending time with katana.

there was a spark in his eyes that betrayed his mask of nonchalance.

╭────────── 𖥸

（( I do have some left. )）

Katana reaffirmed, as he hunched down momentarily. The sounds of lower cabinet doors openings..

Once he stood back up, he was now holding the necessary equipment to prepare the matcha. He set aside the ceramic teapot.

（( ... )）

For a moment, when everything was on the counter he simply.. stood there for 3 minutes.

Another slow blink.

（( ... )）

Before he got to work.

While waiting for the water to be lukewarm to prepare the matcha properly in a chawan bowl, he began to talk to Shuriken.

Which the young Inphernal likely didn't expect, as Katana wasn't much of a talker. It seems that he is in a good mood.

（( Your siblings.. they are doing just fine, I take? )）

（( I haven't seen them this day. And for once, you're sister's vines did not intrude upon my meditating area. )）

!!~

Teru seems to be comfortable within his new perch. The talons are still tightly gripping and sharp though-

☕︎ ──────────╯

' katana seems unusually chatty today, ' shuriken thought, an eyebrow raised as he observed the middle-ranked samurai. a glimmer of surprise danced in his eyes, intrigued by the warmth radiating from his companion.

‘ either way, ’ he tilted his head with a playful smile, now perched comfortably on the table, ‘ i like it. means i get to spend more time chatting with someone. ’

with a soft giggle, he spoke up.

“ it seems everyone’s busy with the café. I am too, but I always find myself with plenty of free time afterwards. ”

“ i'm really glad your meditation hasn’t been interrupted in a while, katana. ”

shuriken said, a hint of admiration in his voice before he continued, yawning.

“ I wish I could grab some of that kind of sleep every now and then … ”

╭────────── 𖥸

（( What is stopping you from doing so? )）

...

Hey when did it got so chilly—

（( I've noticed something, each time we've interacted. )）

Katana slowly turned his head.

（( You're never fully awake. The only times that you seem to be fully aware of what is happening, is when I rattle you enough to focus. )）

☕︎ ──────────╯

Notes from Admin:

• It okay!!

• " You wanna tell something to the class? " ah ah Katana...

• What didn't change for my version of Katana that he IS aware of 'Silver Shadow'.. but I also think it would make sense that Shuriken never had admitted to being that 'other guy'. So Katana here is testing him...

suddenly, the air grew cold, as if the very atmosphere recognised the weight of the words about to be spoken.

' you’re never fully awake. '

a statement as sharp and clear as a blade.

shuriken felt his heart race at the declaration. it wasn’t a question or a mere suggestion; it was a bold proclamation, an unwavering truth that echoed in his mind.

and perhaps it was the truth.

as the silver shadow, shuriken was the enigmatic vigilante, the cool figure cloaked in mystery, who swooped in to help those in peril.

he was at the height of his power, living out his purpose with unwavering resolve.

but if anyone were to uncover the reality lurking beneath his heroic facade, it could unleash chaos.

let alone katana…

“ ha ha…! i suppose i’ve been having more nightmares than usual, huh ? ”

he threw out the half-hearted jest, trying to sound tough.

“ funny how that works, yeah, yeah ? ”

╭────────── 𖥸

（( ... )）

He's still looking at him. Even as he slowly took the luke-warm water to add onto the matcha powder that he has set in the chawan.

（( That is not normal. Having nightmares every night. )）

Katana slowly started whisking the matcha.. but his eye remained on Shuriken.

This must be how his enemies felt like.

（( ... )）

Katana always provides this certain distinct atmosphere he provides when he is in a room.

Most times, it isn't evident. When he isn't keeping his guard up, he remains a formidable but stable, gentle guarding presence.

Though when he does chose to exert pressure?

（( ... )）

It felt like something, alright.

It felt like something akin to a large apex thieves' den predator, moments before it lunges—

（( Shuriken. )）

—He called out, with a firmer tone.

☕︎ ──────────╯

Notes from Admin:

• ALAN. WE ARE SO FUCKED.

oh god.

the pressure hung in the air like a thick fog, suffocating and overwhelming.

shuriken had faced this feeling before—staring down formidable foes on the precipice of life and death as the elusive silver shadow.

with effort, he pushed himself off the table, his gaze locked onto katana, who was expertly whisking the matcha in the chawan, each movement fluid and precise.

“ YES SIR !? ”

In an instant, shuriken sprang to attention, his feet firmly planted together as he erupted with a panicked shout, his voice slicing through the tension like a blade.

“ wh- what is it !? ”

a tightness gripped his chest, each breath a laborious struggle as he fought to draw air into his lungs.

' did I somehow piss him off ? ' panic surged through his thoughts, a frantic torrent of possibilities. every decision he had made felt justified, so why was this unease creeping in?

╭────────── 𖥸

SKREE!

The avian still sitting on top of his head, squawked with the sudden burst of volume— the tiny flaps of panic reminding Shuriken of what was still sitting on his head.

（( ... )）

Katana's hand halted entirely.

（( ... )）

He tilted his head upwards, his eye never changing it's directive.

（( ... )）

before—

（( You are not taking care of yourself properly. )）

...

Flap! flap!

...

–w.. huh?

...

（( You, are not being efficient enough. )）

...

While Shuriken was trying to process the immediate abrupt change of atmosphere, Katana was already infront of the small table he chose to sit by. Holding the finished matcha drink.

（( One day, it will cause you greatly. )）

Katana still has that look in that eye. One that Shuriken admittedly, initially thought was anger..

But now? He's not so sure. Was it just fierce concern?

（( ... )）

Or.. did... he kn—

SKREEE!

—OW!- ow-

☕︎ ──────────╯

“ … huh. ”

shuriken was caught off guard. among the multitude of scenarios swirling in his mind, he never imagined that katana would suddenly veer into an impassioned monologue about self-care.

with a mix of caution and curiosity, shuriken approached the small table and settled down in a seiza position. at the same time, a familiar nervous habit took hold, with his hand now reaching for his arm as he scratched.

just then, teru burst into a flurry of flapping wings, jolting him from his thoughts.

“ got it … ”

he murmured, barely able to focus as he processed katana’s unexpected firm scolding.

（( ... )）

Katana slowly sat down on a pillow, across from Shuriken. There was a small 'thud! ' when he did, despite the soft padding.

SKREE!

Due to his little comfy spot was disturbed, Teru flapped upwards and rejoined his companion's shoulders. The small, tiny knives sensation the barn owl's claws provided slowly diminished. Just as when Shuriken slowly gained his bearings too.

（( I take neither of them know about the "nightmares" aswell? )）

Katana asked slowly, giving him the finished matcha tea. He reached out to scritch his bird once again.

It still feels like.. he knows something about him. Even at face value, his words could be intepreted as a older Inphernal simply being concerned for a young'un.

That stare-down he gave-

...

-Its gonna be engraved in the back of his mind, alright.

The only time Katana had felt that intense to be around was when the Trio was still learning about their new neighbour. But even so, the pressure this time, seemed to have been intentional unlike that instance.

（( ... )）

Did he knew?

He's still keeping his direct eye contact on Shuriken.

The atmosphere tonight was lively.

Even with the unspoken gloom that clung like a second skin to the Mercenary, the bar he frequented goes on like usual:

chatter! -.. chatter? .- chatter

-. chatter... --. chatter . chatter?!

. chatter chatter~ .

chatter - chatter!!

With the thoughts that swirled within his mind, the chatter of the other Inphernals went in one ear and out the other.

The Capital was the centerhub of all four regions however. News of what's going on would reach ears, words exchange, maybe some details lost along the way...

It was an unreliable source. You can never be sure if it's just rumors some bored bloke started, or it had a trinkle of substance.

...

The Bartender has been keeping an eye out, as there was.. alot more chatter going on more than usual.

" At this point, it's hard to tell what's genuine or not.."

The Bartender muttered quietly to themselves, cleaning a empty glass that still had leftover froth from a previous patron. They were situated adjacently to Hyperlaser.

" ... Do you want another one? "

But before he might try to answer—

-. chatter.. -. chatter -. chatter

chatter --- chatter. -- chatter ..

chatter!! -. chatter --. chatter

" -and within one night, everything was gone!— "

SKKREE!

A sharp cry rang out, immediately piercing through the chatter. It even caused the Bartender to sit up straighter, and their eyes to widen. Their head swiveled from Hyperlaser to the door.

" Go off now. Be mindful of the corvids. "

—That voice.

a familiar Inphernal has arrived. 20 minutes of solitude had came to an end.

flap! flap!

The chatter has died down just a tadbit from the sudden screech. Sounded like a barn owl.

" -the hell? " ... " WHERE IS IT?! " " HCHCHKS— "

" you okay buddy? " --- " —yeah im fine man! "

" oomf- " --- " my drink... :C " -.

" Oh! your friend's here! "

The Bartender whispered quickly, their temporary fright quickly subsiding when realizing it was just one of their frequent patrons.

They sounded somewhat a tadbit hopeful. As if they hoped he could bring him out of his headspace.

clink...

clink

clink!

" Good evening. "

Katana had finally arrived. As he peers down at Hyperlaser.

He stood next to the seat he was meant to occupy. He did not sat down yet.

（( Hm? )）

Katana and his avian companion, Teru turned to look at Shuriken in a uncanny sync. The lone ring of gold on Katana's red upper bull horns glinted faintly in the dim light of the sunset.

（( Ah. It's you. )）

SCREE!

（( He is greeting you aswell. )）

（( It is fine. You didn't mean to. )）

Katana adjusted his body so that he would be facing in Shuriken's direction properly. There was a faint tiny 'clink!' when he turned around.

（( Good evening, Shuriken. With how quick you were to run up to me, Im assuming there is something to be asked of me? )）

Katana kept his head tilted, as he formally greets Shuriken this time.. full attention is on Shuriken now. Evidently so, with the way his eye is staring dead-on at the former Darkage Ninja.

...

☕︎ ──────────╯

Notes:

• Katana seems to be relaxed, and remained undisturbed by the fact that Shuriken was this close to hugging him.

• Teru is curious. (but guarding the bux it snagged very closely to its talons)

shuriken's grin grew as katana's gaze was fixed on him. that owl was certainly katana's; he's sure of it! How cool it was for his friend to have such a beautiful bird by his side.

“ oh, i wasn't … asking you of anything ! ”

shit he had no plan, did he?

“ this fluffy bird's name is teru ? sounds cool … ”

╭────────── 𖥸

（( Careful. )）

Katana's eye seems to briefly widen when Shuriken reached out to try to touch the barn owl's wings—

SCREEE!

—Katana reached out with his free hand to halt Shuriken's hand, gripping his wrist in a firm but characteristically gentle manner.

（( ... You can't touch a owl's wings. Or back. )）

He quickly tried to give a small lesson on bird-handling to Shuriken, before they'll move on.

（( Trying to touch them in those areas... stimulate a certain stress response. Those areas are not touched by anything but their partner. )）

He hoped.. Shuriken got what he was trying to say.

Teru flapped his wings briefly... and held them out in a sprawled motion. As if the avian was shocked itself.

（( ... )）

Katana slowly lets go of Shuriken's wrist, before using the same hand to gently scritch the top of Teru's head.

...

The avian slowly brought his wings down.

（( The head however, is a safe spot to touch. No room for misinterpretations.. and avian confusion. )）

Katana quickly added. While he was talking, he slowly pried the bux from his companion's talons, just incase it wished to hop onto Shuriken's shoulder.

☕︎ ──────────╯

shuriken nearly jerked his hand away from katana before he registered the gentleness in katana's firm grip.

he blinked twice as katana softly scratched the owl on its head—the same hand that had almost startled shuriken.

“ okay ... the head …”

he completely understood why the owl might be feeling nervous. after all, if someone were to unexpectedly reach out and touch his chest—or any other part of him—he would get uncomfortable, too.

it’s all about that element of surprise, isn’t it? as a master of his craft, of course, he would know.

shuriken nodded.

“ yeah … i got it ! ”

he smiled, brighter than the sun. his hand then reached out to the owl's head, with his voice just as soft as katana's handling of the bird.

“ i just wanted to talk to you, i've been … bored. "

simply put, he missed talking to someone he considered a mentor, maybe even a father.

╭────────── 𖥸

（( ... )）

Katana tilts his head to the other side, pocketing the bux he picked up from his avian. This time, Teru did not mimic the same motion.

SCREE!

Teru like Katana expected, hopped onto Shuriken's wrist first, before scooting side-to-side trying to get up to his shoulder—

—OW- OW– THE BIRD MEANS WELL BUT THE TALONS ARE SHARP AND TIGHT!

（( I see. )）

Katana commented simply. He uncorked his head, and blinked slowly. The middle-ranked samurai did not bat an eye at his companion clambering up the young Inphernal's shoulder.

（( And your siblings? )）

（( ... Normally I would see you accompanied by the other two. )）

Katana seems a tadbit puzzled why Shuriken wasn't with them.

（( ... )）

Katana slowly squinted his eye.

SCREE!

Notes:

“ gwah ! !”

shuriken yelped, instinctively freezing in place as the barn owl perched on his shoulder dug its talons into his flesh. damn, those talons hurt like tiny knives on his shoulder!

“and what about your siblings?”

the question landed softly, full of the warmth and understanding reminiscent of a father speaking to his son. it caused shuriken to halt, his heart racing.

the barn owl nibbled at its wing, completely unfazed, while shuriken straightened his back against the railing, flinching as the owl screeched dangerously close to his ear.

“ uh … w-well… um … ”

he released a breath that came out as more of a hurried laugh than the disgruntled sigh he intended.

the truth was, he’d rather die than confess how clingy he felt toward anyone. the thought of burdening them gnawed at him.

but the loneliness weighed heavier without his siblings by his side.

“ ahem ! i-i was … erm … training ! for something … for lunch rush … at thieves' rest, totally ! haha ! ”

shuriken scrambled for an excuse, desperate to clear away the thick, awkward tension but avoided meeting katana's gaze, his cheeks burning bright with embarrassment.

╭────────── 𖥸

（( ... )）

Katana's "expression" did not change in the slightest.

He already can see through him, can't he?

...

As if to add to Shuriken's embarrasment, Teru also slowly turned corked its head to look at him. Like he was judging him as much as it's master.

（( ... Right. )）

Said the middle-ranked samurai, with the most unconvinced tone Shuriken has heard out of him in awhile.

（( ... If you are trying to hide from your siblings, you might aswell do it efficiently. )）

Huh?-

Oh! He's already moving- back inside.

（( ... )）

He did not looked back over his shoulder to Shuriken, as he ducked down the doorway he came from.

SCREE!

Almost as if Teru is trying to snap Shuriken out of it, it screeched just as Katana got inside.

☕︎ ──────────╯

Notes from Admin:

• Translation: Get yo BUTT inside here boy. /j

• Wdym, Shuriken is SO subtleee.. I definitely couldn't tell at all!!!

“ wha- heyy !! ”

“ i'm not ‘hiding’ why on earth would i be hiding from them ? ”

gradually, the tightness in his muscles began to ease, as if the weight of the world was being lifted from his shoulders.

katana's house welcomed him with unexpected warmth, a cosy retreat that felt like a comforting embrace. The air was infused with a delightful scent of maple, wrapping around him like a soft blanket.

he took a deep breath, savouring the sweet, autumnal aroma that filled the room. Instantly, a sense of calm washed over him—it was the perfect atmosphere he needed to quiet his racing thoughts.

“ i just needed a change of space, y'know ? you get me, right ? ”

╭────────── 𖥸

（( I understand. )）

Katana did not look over his shoulder just yet, as he moved with grace for a Inphernal his size. He moved ahead of Shuriken.

...

（( It can get somewhat overwhelming, hm? )）

SCREE!

Teru briefly flapped his wings to instead position himself on Shuriken's head— ow-

（( I'll be brewing some tea. Do you have a preference for a flavor? )）

From the small kitchen, Katana was easily visible. He finally looked over his shoulder at Shuriken (and Teru).. holding a quite detailed ceramic teapot.

☕︎ ──────────╯

Notes from Admin:

• Katana isn't even aware that he's a great figure to be around with...

“ teru … ”

shuriken let out a soft whine as teru perched atop his head. the owl exuded an air of calm, but those sharp talons were dangerously close to making a mess of his hairline.

“ do you still have some matcha ? if not, i can take some water. ”

his smile radiated an infectious, giddy excitement, reflecting the joy he felt at the thought of spending time with katana.

there was a spark in his eyes that betrayed his mask of nonchalance.

╭────────── 𖥸

（( I do have some left. )）

Katana reaffirmed, as he hunched down momentarily. The sounds of lower cabinet doors openings..

Once he stood back up, he was now holding the necessary equipment to prepare the matcha. He set aside the ceramic teapot.

（( ... )）

For a moment, when everything was on the counter he simply.. stood there for 3 minutes.

Another slow blink.

（( ... )）

Before he got to work.

While waiting for the water to be lukewarm to prepare the matcha properly in a chawan bowl, he began to talk to Shuriken.

Which the young Inphernal likely didn't expect, as Katana wasn't much of a talker. It seems that he is in a good mood.

（( Your siblings.. they are doing just fine, I take? )）

（( I haven't seen them this day. And for once, you're sister's vines did not intrude upon my meditating area. )）

!!~

Teru seems to be comfortable within his new perch. The talons are still tightly gripping and sharp though-

☕︎ ──────────╯

‘ either way, ’ he tilted his head with a playful smile, now perched comfortably on the table, ‘ i like it. means i get to spend more time chatting with someone. ’

with a soft giggle, he spoke up.

“ it seems everyone’s busy with the café. I am too, but I always find myself with plenty of free time afterwards. ”

“ i'm really glad your meditation hasn’t been interrupted in a while, katana. ”

shuriken said, a hint of admiration in his voice before he continued, yawning.

“ I wish I could grab some of that kind of sleep every now and then … ”

╭────────── 𖥸

（( What is stopping you from doing so? )）

...

Hey when did it got so chilly—

（( I've noticed something, each time we've interacted. )）

Katana slowly turned his head.

（( You're never fully awake. The only times that you seem to be fully aware of what is happening, is when I rattle you enough to focus. )）

☕︎ ──────────╯

Notes from Admin:

• It okay!!

• " You wanna tell something to the class? " ah ah Katana...

suddenly, the air grew cold, as if the very atmosphere recognised the weight of the words about to be spoken.

' you’re never fully awake. '

a statement as sharp and clear as a blade.

shuriken felt his heart race at the declaration. it wasn’t a question or a mere suggestion; it was a bold proclamation, an unwavering truth that echoed in his mind.

and perhaps it was the truth.

as the silver shadow, shuriken was the enigmatic vigilante, the cool figure cloaked in mystery, who swooped in to help those in peril.

he was at the height of his power, living out his purpose with unwavering resolve.

but if anyone were to uncover the reality lurking beneath his heroic facade, it could unleash chaos.

let alone katana…

“ ha ha…! i suppose i’ve been having more nightmares than usual, huh ? ”

he threw out the half-hearted jest, trying to sound tough.

“ funny how that works, yeah, yeah ? ”

╭────────── 𖥸

（( ... )）

He's still looking at him. Even as he slowly took the luke-warm water to add onto the matcha powder that he has set in the chawan.

（( That is not normal. Having nightmares every night. )）

Katana slowly started whisking the matcha.. but his eye remained on Shuriken.

This must be how his enemies felt like.

（( ... )）

Katana always provides this certain distinct atmosphere he provides when he is in a room.

Most times, it isn't evident. When he isn't keeping his guard up, he remains a formidable but stable, gentle guarding presence.

Though when he does chose to exert pressure?

（( ... )）

It felt like something, alright.

It felt like something akin to a large apex thieves' den predator, moments before it lunges—

（( Shuriken. )）

—He called out, with a firmer tone.

☕︎ ──────────╯

Notes from Admin:

• ALAN. WE ARE SO FUCKED.

oh god.

the pressure hung in the air like a thick fog, suffocating and overwhelming.

shuriken had faced this feeling before—staring down formidable foes on the precipice of life and death as the elusive silver shadow.

with effort, he pushed himself off the table, his gaze locked onto katana, who was expertly whisking the matcha in the chawan, each movement fluid and precise.

“ YES SIR !? ”

In an instant, shuriken sprang to attention, his feet firmly planted together as he erupted with a panicked shout, his voice slicing through the tension like a blade.

“ wh- what is it !? ”

a tightness gripped his chest, each breath a laborious struggle as he fought to draw air into his lungs.

' did I somehow piss him off ? ' panic surged through his thoughts, a frantic torrent of possibilities. every decision he had made felt justified, so why was this unease creeping in?

The avian still sitting on top of his head, squawked with the sudden burst of volume— the tiny flaps of panic reminding Shuriken of what was still sitting on his head.

He tilted his head upwards, his eye never changing it's directive.

“ wha- heyy !! ”

“ i'm not ‘hiding’ why on earth would i be hiding from them ? ”

gradually, the tightness in his muscles began to ease, as if the weight of the world was being lifted from his shoulders.

katana's house welcomed him with unexpected warmth, a cosy retreat that felt like a comforting embrace. The air was infused with a delightful scent of maple, wrapping around him like a soft blanket.

he took a deep breath, savouring the sweet, autumnal aroma that filled the room. Instantly, a sense of calm washed over him—it was the perfect atmosphere he needed to quiet his racing thoughts.

“ i just needed a change of space, y'know ? you get me, right ? ”

（( I understand. )）

Katana did not look over his shoulder just yet, as he moved with grace for a Inphernal his size. He moved ahead of Shuriken.

...

（( It can get somewhat overwhelming, hm? )）

SCREE!

Teru briefly flapped his wings to instead position himself on Shuriken's head— ow-

（( I'll be brewing some tea. Do you have a preference for a flavor? )）

From the small kitchen, Katana was easily visible. He finally looked over his shoulder at Shuriken (and Teru).. holding a quite detailed ceramic teapot.

• Katana isn't even aware that he's a great figure to be around with...

“ teru … ”

shuriken let out a soft whine as teru perched atop his head. the owl exuded an air of calm, but those sharp talons were dangerously close to making a mess of his hairline.

“ do you still have some matcha ? if not, i can take some water. ”

his smile radiated an infectious, giddy excitement, reflecting the joy he felt at the thought of spending time with katana.

there was a spark in his eyes that betrayed his mask of nonchalance.

╭────────── 𖥸

（( I do have some left. )）

Katana reaffirmed, as he hunched down momentarily. The sounds of lower cabinet doors openings..

Once he stood back up, he was now holding the necessary equipment to prepare the matcha. He set aside the ceramic teapot.

（( ... )）

For a moment, when everything was on the counter he simply.. stood there for 3 minutes.

Another slow blink.

（( ... )）

Before he got to work.

While waiting for the water to be lukewarm to prepare the matcha properly in a chawan bowl, he began to talk to Shuriken.

Which the young Inphernal likely didn't expect, as Katana wasn't much of a talker. It seems that he is in a good mood.

（( Your siblings.. they are doing just fine, I take? )）

（( I haven't seen them this day. And for once, you're sister's vines did not intrude upon my meditating area. )）

Teru seems to be comfortable within his new perch. The talons are still tightly gripping and sharp though-

☕︎ ──────────╯

‘ either way, ’ he tilted his head with a playful smile, now perched comfortably on the table, ‘ i like it. means i get to spend more time chatting with someone. ’

with a soft giggle, he spoke up.

“ it seems everyone’s busy with the café. I am too, but I always find myself with plenty of free time afterwards. ”

“ i'm really glad your meditation hasn’t been interrupted in a while, katana. ”

shuriken said, a hint of admiration in his voice before he continued, yawning.

“ I wish I could grab some of that kind of sleep every now and then … ”

╭────────── 𖥸

（( What is stopping you from doing so? )）

Hey when did it got so chilly—

（( I've noticed something, each time we've interacted. )）

Katana slowly turned his head.

（( You're never fully awake. The only times that you seem to be fully aware of what is happening, is when I rattle you enough to focus. )）

Notes from Admin:

• It okay!!

• " You wanna tell something to the class? " ah ah Katana...

suddenly, the air grew cold, as if the very atmosphere recognised the weight of the words about to be spoken.

' you’re never fully awake. '

a statement as sharp and clear as a blade.

shuriken felt his heart race at the declaration. it wasn’t a question or a mere suggestion; it was a bold proclamation, an unwavering truth that echoed in his mind.

and perhaps it was the truth.

as the silver shadow, shuriken was the enigmatic vigilante, the cool figure cloaked in mystery, who swooped in to help those in peril.

he was at the height of his power, living out his purpose with unwavering resolve.

but if anyone were to uncover the reality lurking beneath his heroic facade, it could unleash chaos.

let alone katana…

“ ha ha…! i suppose i’ve been having more nightmares than usual, huh ? ”

he threw out the half-hearted jest, trying to sound tough.

“ funny how that works, yeah, yeah ? ”

He's still looking at him. Even as he slowly took the luke-warm water to add onto the matcha powder that he has set in the chawan.

（( That is not normal. Having nightmares every night. )）

Katana slowly started whisking the matcha.. but his eye remained on Shuriken.

This must be how his enemies felt like.

（( ... )）

Katana always provides this certain distinct atmosphere he provides when he is in a room.

Most times, it isn't evident. When he isn't keeping his guard up, he remains a formidable but stable, gentle guarding presence.

Though when he does chose to exert pressure?

（( ... )）

It felt like something, alright.

It felt like something akin to a large apex thieves' den predator, moments before it lunges—

（( Shuriken. )）

—He called out, with a firmer tone.

（( Hm? )）

Katana and his avian companion, Teru turned to look at Shuriken in a uncanny sync. The lone ring of gold on Katana's red upper bull horns glinted faintly in the dim light of the sunset.

（( Ah. It's you. )）

SCREE!

（( He is greeting you aswell. )）

（( It is fine. You didn't mean to. )）

Katana adjusted his body so that he would be facing in Shuriken's direction properly. There was a faint tiny 'clink!' when he turned around.

（( Good evening, Shuriken. With how quick you were to run up to me, Im assuming there is something to be asked of me? )）

Katana kept his head tilted, as he formally greets Shuriken this time.. full attention is on Shuriken now. Evidently so, with the way his eye is staring dead-on at the former Darkage Ninja.

...

☕︎ ──────────╯

Notes:

• Katana seems to be relaxed, and remained undisturbed by the fact that Shuriken was this close to hugging him.

• Teru is curious. (but guarding the bux it snagged very closely to its talons)

shuriken's grin grew as katana's gaze was fixed on him. that owl was certainly katana's; he's sure of it! How cool it was for his friend to have such a beautiful bird by his side.

“ oh, i wasn't … asking you of anything ! ”

shit he had no plan, did he?

“ this fluffy bird's name is teru ? sounds cool … ”

╭────────── 𖥸

（( Careful. )）

Katana's eye seems to briefly widen when Shuriken reached out to try to touch the barn owl's wings—

SCREEE!

—Katana reached out with his free hand to halt Shuriken's hand, gripping his wrist in a firm but characteristically gentle manner.

（( ... You can't touch a owl's wings. Or back. )）

He quickly tried to give a small lesson on bird-handling to Shuriken, before they'll move on.

（( Trying to touch them in those areas... stimulate a certain stress response. Those areas are not touched by anything but their partner. )）

He hoped.. Shuriken got what he was trying to say.

Teru flapped his wings briefly... and held them out in a sprawled motion. As if the avian was shocked itself.

（( ... )）

Katana slowly lets go of Shuriken's wrist, before using the same hand to gently scritch the top of Teru's head.

...

The avian slowly brought his wings down.

（( The head however, is a safe spot to touch. No room for misinterpretations.. and avian confusion. )）

Katana quickly added. While he was talking, he slowly pried the bux from his companion's talons, just incase it wished to hop onto Shuriken's shoulder.

☕︎ ──────────╯

shuriken nearly jerked his hand away from katana before he registered the gentleness in katana's firm grip.

he blinked twice as katana softly scratched the owl on its head—the same hand that had almost startled shuriken.

“ okay ... the head …”

he completely understood why the owl might be feeling nervous. after all, if someone were to unexpectedly reach out and touch his chest—or any other part of him—he would get uncomfortable, too.

it’s all about that element of surprise, isn’t it? as a master of his craft, of course, he would know.

shuriken nodded.

“ yeah … i got it ! ”

he smiled, brighter than the sun. his hand then reached out to the owl's head, with his voice just as soft as katana's handling of the bird.

“ i just wanted to talk to you, i've been … bored. "

simply put, he missed talking to someone he considered a mentor, maybe even a father.

╭────────── 𖥸

（( ... )）

Katana tilts his head to the other side, pocketing the bux he picked up from his avian. This time, Teru did not mimic the same motion.

SCREE!

Teru like Katana expected, hopped onto Shuriken's wrist first, before scooting side-to-side trying to get up to his shoulder—

—OW- OW– THE BIRD MEANS WELL BUT THE TALONS ARE SHARP AND TIGHT!

（( I see. )）

Katana commented simply. He uncorked his head, and blinked slowly. The middle-ranked samurai did not bat an eye at his companion clambering up the young Inphernal's shoulder.

（( And your siblings? )）

（( ... Normally I would see you accompanied by the other two. )）

Katana seems a tadbit puzzled why Shuriken wasn't with them.

Katana slowly squinted his eye.

“ gwah ! !”

shuriken yelped, instinctively freezing in place as the barn owl perched on his shoulder dug its talons into his flesh. damn, those talons hurt like tiny knives on his shoulder!

“and what about your siblings?”

the question landed softly, full of the warmth and understanding reminiscent of a father speaking to his son. it caused shuriken to halt, his heart racing.

the barn owl nibbled at its wing, completely unfazed, while shuriken straightened his back against the railing, flinching as the owl screeched dangerously close to his ear.

“ uh … w-well… um … ”

he released a breath that came out as more of a hurried laugh than the disgruntled sigh he intended.

the truth was, he’d rather die than confess how clingy he felt toward anyone. the thought of burdening them gnawed at him.

but the loneliness weighed heavier without his siblings by his side.

“ ahem ! i-i was … erm … training ! for something … for lunch rush … at thieves' rest, totally ! haha ! ”

shuriken scrambled for an excuse, desperate to clear away the thick, awkward tension but avoided meeting katana's gaze, his cheeks burning bright with embarrassment.

╭────────── 𖥸

（( ... )）

Katana's "expression" did not change in the slightest.

He already can see through him, can't he?

...

As if to add to Shuriken's embarrasment, Teru also slowly turned corked its head to look at him. Like he was judging him as much as it's master.

（( ... Right. )）

Said the middle-ranked samurai, with the most unconvinced tone Shuriken has heard out of him in awhile.

（( ... If you are trying to hide from your siblings, you might aswell do it efficiently. )）

Huh?-

Oh! He's already moving- back inside.

（( My companion sometimes brings back small 'gifts' when it returns from flight. )）

...

（( With that said, back to the point.. apologies, )）

（( Teru can bring back various different things. Though the most notable item i've observed him bring the most during those occasional instances... is bux. )）

（( Although I am not complaining, sometimes I ponder... where did he picked this up from? I never taught my avian companion to pick up bux. )）

...

（( Hm. )）

“ holy shit ! katana ?? "

mask off. make sure he doesn't notice.

he rushed over to katana, completely ignoring the owl currently holding a talon full of bux. who cares about thievery right now when his neighbor was finally out of his home!

“ heyy ! it's really you! "

“ … sorry ! i forgot you don't do the whole … hugging thing without permission. oh, sick bird by the way ! ”

（( Hm? )）

Katana and his avian companion, Teru turned to look at Shuriken in a uncanny sync. The lone ring of gold on Katana's red upper bull horns glinted faintly in the dim light of the sunset.

（( Ah. It's you. )）

SCREE!

（( He is greeting you aswell. )）

（( It is fine. You didn't mean to. )）

Katana adjusted his body so that he would be facing in Shuriken's direction properly. There was a faint tiny 'clink!' when he turned around.

（( Good evening, Shuriken. With how quick you were to run up to me, Im assuming there is something to be asked of me? )）

Katana kept his head tilted, as he formally greets Shuriken this time.. full attention is on Shuriken now. Evidently so, with the way his eye is staring dead-on at the former Darkage Ninja.

...

☕︎ ──────────╯

Notes:

• Katana seems to be relaxed, and remained undisturbed by the fact that Shuriken was this close to hugging him.

• Teru is curious. (but guarding the bux it snagged very closely to its talons)

shuriken's grin grew as katana's gaze was fixed on him. that owl was certainly katana's; he's sure of it! How cool it was for his friend to have such a beautiful bird by his side.

“ oh, i wasn't … asking you of anything ! ”

shit he had no plan, did he?

“ this fluffy bird's name is teru ? sounds cool … ”

╭────────── 𖥸

（( Careful. )）

Katana's eye seems to briefly widen when Shuriken reached out to try to touch the barn owl's wings—

SCREEE!

—Katana reached out with his free hand to halt Shuriken's hand, gripping his wrist in a firm but characteristically gentle manner.

（( ... You can't touch a owl's wings. Or back. )）

He quickly tried to give a small lesson on bird-handling to Shuriken, before they'll move on.

（( Trying to touch them in those areas... stimulate a certain stress response. Those areas are not touched by anything but their partner. )）

He hoped.. Shuriken got what he was trying to say.

Teru flapped his wings briefly... and held them out in a sprawled motion. As if the avian was shocked itself.

（( ... )）

Katana slowly lets go of Shuriken's wrist, before using the same hand to gently scritch the top of Teru's head.

...

The avian slowly brought his wings down.

（( The head however, is a safe spot to touch. No room for misinterpretations.. and avian confusion. )）

Katana quickly added. While he was talking, he slowly pried the bux from his companion's talons, just incase it wished to hop onto Shuriken's shoulder.

☕︎ ──────────╯

shuriken nearly jerked his hand away from katana before he registered the gentleness in katana's firm grip.

he blinked twice as katana softly scratched the owl on its head—the same hand that had almost startled shuriken.

“ okay ... the head …”

he completely understood why the owl might be feeling nervous. after all, if someone were to unexpectedly reach out and touch his chest—or any other part of him—he would get uncomfortable, too.

it’s all about that element of surprise, isn’t it? as a master of his craft, of course, he would know.

shuriken nodded.

“ yeah … i got it ! ”

he smiled, brighter than the sun. his hand then reached out to the owl's head, with his voice just as soft as katana's handling of the bird.

“ i just wanted to talk to you, i've been … bored. "

simply put, he missed talking to someone he considered a mentor, maybe even a father.

╭────────── 𖥸

（( ... )）

Katana tilts his head to the other side, pocketing the bux he picked up from his avian. This time, Teru did not mimic the same motion.

SCREE!

Teru like Katana expected, hopped onto Shuriken's wrist first, before scooting side-to-side trying to get up to his shoulder—

—OW- OW– THE BIRD MEANS WELL BUT THE TALONS ARE SHARP AND TIGHT!

（( I see. )）

Katana commented simply. He uncorked his head, and blinked slowly. The middle-ranked samurai did not bat an eye at his companion clambering up the young Inphernal's shoulder.

（( And your siblings? )）

（( ... Normally I would see you accompanied by the other two. )）

Katana seems a tadbit puzzled why Shuriken wasn't with them.

（( ... )）

Katana slowly squinted his eye.

SCREE!

☕︎ ──────────╯

Notes:

• Katana is suspectin that Shuriken is feeling particularly clingy this evening.

Notes from Admin:

• Katana sees everything /j

• Let me steal that hc rq.. /silly

“ gwah ! !”

shuriken yelped, instinctively freezing in place as the barn owl perched on his shoulder dug its talons into his flesh. damn, those talons hurt like tiny knives on his shoulder!

“and what about your siblings?”

the question landed softly, full of the warmth and understanding reminiscent of a father speaking to his son. it caused shuriken to halt, his heart racing.

the barn owl nibbled at its wing, completely unfazed, while shuriken straightened his back against the railing, flinching as the owl screeched dangerously close to his ear.

“ uh … w-well… um … ”

he released a breath that came out as more of a hurried laugh than the disgruntled sigh he intended.

the truth was, he’d rather die than confess how clingy he felt toward anyone. the thought of burdening them gnawed at him.

but the loneliness weighed heavier without his siblings by his side.

“ ahem ! i-i was … erm … training ! for something … for lunch rush … at thieves' rest, totally ! haha ! ”

shuriken scrambled for an excuse, desperate to clear away the thick, awkward tension but avoided meeting katana's gaze, his cheeks burning bright with embarrassment.

╭────────── 𖥸

（( ... )）

Katana's "expression" did not change in the slightest.

He already can see through him, can't he?

...

As if to add to Shuriken's embarrasment, Teru also slowly turned corked its head to look at him. Like he was judging him as much as it's master.

（( ... Right. )）

Said the middle-ranked samurai, with the most unconvinced tone Shuriken has heard out of him in awhile.

（( ... If you are trying to hide from your siblings, you might aswell do it efficiently. )）

Huh?-

Oh! He's already moving- back inside.

（( ... )）

He did not looked back over his shoulder to Shuriken, as he ducked down the doorway he came from.

SCREE!

Almost as if Teru is trying to snap Shuriken out of it, it screeched just as Katana got inside.

☕︎ ──────────╯

Notes from Admin:

• Translation: Get yo BUTT inside here boy. /j

• Wdym, Shuriken is SO subtleee.. I definitely couldn't tell at all!!!

“ wha- heyy !! ”

“ i'm not ‘hiding’ why on earth would i be hiding from them ? ”

gradually, the tightness in his muscles began to ease, as if the weight of the world was being lifted from his shoulders.

katana's house welcomed him with unexpected warmth, a cosy retreat that felt like a comforting embrace. The air was infused with a delightful scent of maple, wrapping around him like a soft blanket.

he took a deep breath, savouring the sweet, autumnal aroma that filled the room. Instantly, a sense of calm washed over him—it was the perfect atmosphere he needed to quiet his racing thoughts.

“ i just needed a change of space, y'know ? you get me, right ? ”

（( I understand. )）

Katana did not look over his shoulder just yet, as he moved with grace for a Inphernal his size. He moved ahead of Shuriken.

...

（( It can get somewhat overwhelming, hm? )）

SCREE!

Teru briefly flapped his wings to instead position himself on Shuriken's head— ow-

（( I'll be brewing some tea. Do you have a preference for a flavor? )）

From the small kitchen, Katana was easily visible. He finally looked over his shoulder at Shuriken (and Teru).. holding a quite detailed ceramic teapot.
