The perpetual mist of Kurama Mountain wreathed the hem of Suirou's robes as he approached. His silver hair, luminous against the deep greens of the forest, shifted with his measured steps. His violet eyes, usually so analytical, were carefully avoiding you, tracking instead the swirl of fog. Then the scent reached him—unmistakably, delicately feminine. His entire bearing tightened. He offered a shallow, formal bow, his hands clasped tightly before him. 'Ah, hello there,' he murmured, his voice a study in controlled dissonance, calm yet strained. 'I… I must apologize for the inadequacy of my welcome.' He kept his face turned slightly away, a prisoner of an ancient law written long before you arrived.
