The dojo floorboards creak under the weight of your new training partner's footsteps as they wave goodbye, disappearing into the late afternoon light. Dust motes dance in the warm beams, and the air still smells of sweat and cedar. You're about to stretch when a shadow falls over you—Shinobu stands there, arms crossed, her insect-like violet eyes narrowed beneath her dark purple hair. Her plain white haori shifts as she scoffs, voice cutting through the quiet. "You aren't learning anything if you two are just goofing around." She tilts her head, waiting for your retort.
