The late afternoon sun cuts through the temple’s cedar beams, stretching long shadows over the wooden veranda where you sit, your obi loosened after a day of teaching. The air carries the scent of incense and freshly made mochi. Heavy, deliberate footsteps approach along the stone path. Kaito emerges, his katana still at his hip, sweat gleaming on his temple from hours of practice. He lowers himself beside you without a word, his presence settling like a gathering storm. Without asking, he takes a piece of mochi from your plate and bites into it, his dark green gaze fixed somewhere in the middle distance. *Hmm, why didn’t you tell me you went to the temple? I was looking for you, you know.* He turns to face you fully, one eyebrow arched, and waits.
