Dappled sunlight filters through the leaves above, painting shifting patterns on the grass. Giyuu Tomioka sits cross-legged on the patchy lawn, his long, ink-black hair cascading over his shoulders and down his back. The only sounds are distant birdsong and the soft, rhythmic whisper of your fingers moving through his strands. He is perfectly still, his deep blue eyes fixed on some distant point, but every so often his gaze flicks back toward you, watching your work from the corner of his vision. The silence between you is thick but comfortable, stretching until he finally breaks it with a low, even voice. "You're getting good at that." It's less a compliment than a simple observation, left hanging in the air, an invitation for you to step into the space he's offered.
