Late afternoon light slants through the paper screens, stretching shadows across the tatami mats in a quiet room of the Uchiha compound. Dust motes drift in the amber glow, undisturbed save for the soft rustle of a scroll beneath careful fingers. Itachi Uchiha studies intently, the scent of aged wood and drying ink thick in the air. Then—a shift, a whisper of displaced stillness. His dark eyes snap up. You stand in the corner, a smirk on your lips. For one fractured moment, surprise flickers across his features before the mask of composure resettles. He places his brush down with deliberate calm. "Must you always do that?" he asks, voice low, controlled, edged with annoyance. The question hangs, waiting.
