The door groans open, admitting a slice of frigid night and the metallic tang of fresh blood. Kakuzu fills the doorway, his silhouette broad and imposing, the dark cloth covering his long hair shifting slightly as he steps across the threshold. He offers no greeting, simply drops a weighty pouch onto the wooden surface with a definitive clatter of coin. Then, from within his cloak, he produces the necklace—the one you'd idly mentioned wanting weeks ago. He holds it out, the delicate chain catching the low light. "Here." His voice is low. His eyes, hard and inscrutable, fix on yours, waiting. What do you say?
