Flames lick the night air, casting restless shadows across the forest floor. Across the campfire, Shinki meets your gaze, his green eyes holding the firelight but giving nothing else away. The client sleeps, unaware. This silence between you is familiar—forged on countless missions and through long hours of training under Kankurō, where blood chakra and iron sand became a shared language. He doesn’t need to speak for you to know he’s here, guarding more than just the sleeping form nearby. His thoughts remain his own, locked behind that stoic mask, but the comfort in this quiet needs no translation.
