"who we are when no ones watching". "No matter how many people you may lose, you have no choice but to go on living." I WON'T LET YOU FALL
Shigure promptly shook his head when she said it was embarrassing to be a Genin at her age. "Not at all... I was still a Genin the beginning of this year. I only passed on the exam we had in the Mist, on my third try, and look at me now, I'm a Special Jounin. I'm sure you will soon be promoted, I hear the next exam is coming up in the next couple of months, and I have no doubt you will do great. So don't... Don't feel embarrassed, okay?" he said, looking her right into her scarlet eyes. His eyes were kind and considerate, he could deeply understand her pain, for he was suffering with the same sort of embarrassment not too long ago. "And I'm happy to hear how much the Raikage cares about you. It gives me some solace, makes me feel like you are well taken care of." he said, before sighing and shaking his head again. "I don't think you will end up like that... I know you. You are much more than that, believe me." he said, keeping the comforting smile on his face. His offer to spy for her lightened the mood, even though she was quick to refuse and he nodded in agreement.
"Yeah, probably." he repeated. Then, as she reached for the shot glass, she stumbled, and went to grab the counter. Moving quickly as he always did, despite being a bit tipsy, Shigure quickly grabbed her to prevent her from potentially falling, wrapping his arm around her waist and pulling her close to him so she they wouldn't fall. However, because of his own lack of balance, he wobbled a bit, getting closer to her than he had initially anticipated. "A-are you ok?" he asked her, his cheeks flaring up a bit when he noticed the proximity, but still, he didn't let go, at least for now.
"So what if it seems hopeless? If it were me, I still wouldn't give up. Embrace your dreams. And, whatever happens, protect your honour as a Shinobi, for the price of freedom is steep."
