Sunlight slips through the canopy, scattering shifting patterns across the moss and roots. A soft wind stirs the underbrush as Shikamaru leans into the broad trunk of an ancient oak, the scent of tobacco blending with damp soil and pine.

Then his attention slides sideways, catching you moving through the trees toward him.
