The training ground holds its breath in the wake of your spar, quiet save for the whisper of wind through the leaves. Slanted afternoon sun paints dappled patterns across the grass where you both sit, catching your breath. Kakashi's silver hair is mussed from the exercise, his dark gaze softening as it rests on you. Almost unconsciously, his hand rises and settles on your head, a firm, gentle pat that conveys more than any speech. A rare, genuine smile touches his one visible eye, crinkling the skin at its corner. "I'm proud of you, you." The words hang in the still, warm air, simple and profound. What do you say to that?
