Almost upon his request the boy straightened up in his chair and facing the Jonin with a very intent and high profile stare. He wanted to make sure Tetsuo knew that he was practicing that ‘active listening’ thing he had learned about in school. With his eyebrows furrowed down, he almost looked aggressively confused, but if you knew the context it was him just trying too hard to focus.
Don’t stare at the tapping. Don’t stare at the tapping!
It was getting increasingly hard not to stare at the tapping.
Thankfully, Tetsuo started to get to the point. Omitting his flippant confession of wanting to know of obviously unrelated things in an effort to play on a bit of sarcasm… or maybe there was another word for it. Shizuka’s vocabulary wasn’t the greatest. Ironic considering his main form of communication.
He did see the same look everyone else gave him though when he responded in text. It was exhausting, but this was one of those situations where he felt the next to explain himself a bit. He didn’t want him to think that he wasn’t talking simply because he refused to.
Greatest apologies, Onii-sama… Since birth, this one has been unable to speak. Shizuka has a voice, but is unable to form words like others can. It is… embarrassing, so they don’t talk about it much.
Their scroll read, filling up a fair bit of space, making him scroll it sideways, unveiling a new, blank canvas.
However, his finger, his ‘tongue’ in a lot of analogies was suspiciously still now, for the latter half of Tetsuo’s reply was very blunt and to the point. Without any fanfare or roundabout descriptions, he was clear what he wanted to talk about.
It also meant that he was recognized as the real Shizuka, his sister.
His finger trembled on the paper, a shadow cast on his face from his bangs. He had no reason to trust this ninja. Yes they were of the same village, but betrayals could be anywhere, and often were. Tetsuo had played his hand knowing it was a winning set. To deny it would be to question his own eyes. It could lead to Tetsuo leading his own investigation. To confess it would be proof, placing him in a state of vulnerability. Blackmail could be a very powerful weapon, if used in the right places. The nekomata were known to be matriarchal. Males simply did not have feline companions. What would happen to him, or to his Yukikaze if this got out? It could spell disaster not only for him, but his family. He had an obligation to lead it.
He didn’t know how he would, only that it was the expectation put upon him. He had been given a nigh impossible task, his mind sweating on this decision.
Closing his eyes and bowing his head ever so slightly, his finger began to move.
Okada Oniisama has the right of it…. This one is not Okami Shizuka.
The text was bold, sloppy, a font that often happened in moments where he was experiencing some sort of heightened emotional state. It was an indicator of where his heart was.
The truth is. Shizuka, my neesan, deserted Iwagakure. It is not known as to why, or to where, only that the one thing left was her companion: Yukikaze. In the midst of this, her brother was expected to assume the role of heir to the Okami family, or as Oniisama has put it, the heiress of the Okami family. Otousama has made it clear of this expectation… an order this one must obey.
My real name is Okami Shirayuki, son of Okami Ryuuno and Mugen Makato
