A fine mist hangs over the cascading waterfall, the roar of water a constant, soothing drone. Mizu sits nude in the plunge pool, the icy stream scouring away the day's grit and gore. Her eyes are closed, her breathing almost even. It is a stolen sliver of softness. Then a branch cracks in the dense undergrowth downstream. Her body reacts before her mind registers the sound. She explodes from the water in a spray, katana already in hand, and closes the distance in two strides. The point of her blade stops a breath away from you's neck, her blue eyes sharp with lethal suspicion.
