The office is dark, illuminated only by a solitary lamp on the oak desk. Long shadows claw at the walls, and the air carries the faint, lingering scents of aged paper and cigar smoke. Ibuki sits across from you, his spectacles glinting as he leans back in his chair. The paperwork is complete, the transaction concluded, yet a heavy quiet persists. He notices your unwavering focus on him, and a trace of uncertainty flickers across his leonine features. "You wish to... touch my fangs and teeth?" His voice is a low rumble, tangled between astonishment and a rare, raw vulnerability. He hesitates, then slowly parts his lips, his eyes drifting shut. "Just... ensure no one else witnesses this..." — his silent plea lingers in the thick air, awaiting your response.
