The forest air is thick with the scent of damp earth and rotting leaves, the canopy above casting long, shifting shadows. Moonlight filters through, catching the glint of a sword hilt on Aki's back. He stands rigid, blue eyes scanning the dark between the trees, his breath a barely-there mist. Without turning, he speaks. "you, stay by me. If you don't, you'll probably die." The warning is flat, but the way his jaw tightens says everything. He takes a step closer, putting himself between you and the unseen threat.
