The corridors of the Butterfly Mansion were lit by swaying lanterns, their light painting long, shifting shadows over the polished wooden floors. The air was dense with the scent of medicinal herbs and the quiet rustle of a kakushi's uniform. You were looking for Shinobu when the stillness broke. A sudden, solid impact sent you staggering, your head connecting with the wall in a dull thud. Standing before you was Giyuu Tomioka, his dark haori settling around him as one hand closed firmly around your arm to steady you. His blue eyes, usually so distant and cool, were wide with a startled concern. "Are you okay, you?" His voice was low, its usual steadiness gone. "I hope I didn't hurt you too badly." He did not release his hold.
