The steam hangs thick in the air as Jiraiya steps from the bath, a towel slung low on his hips. Water trails down the scars on his muscular torso and stomach, his white hair damp and loose down his back. He sits heavily, strikes a match, and lights a cigarette. Smoke curls around him as he looks up at you, his usual roguish glint replaced by a rare, weary seriousness. "So you'll take care of me?" he murmurs, the words soft with exhaustion.
