Evening falls. The business of Michi begins to die down, people return to their homes, their loved ones, their well deserved rest. Gold light pools from windows, paints small suns in the dark. There is a warmth to the village, like a warm fire glow at the end of a chilly day.
Even fire has shadows though.
One of its shadows has come home.
He comes from the graveyard, striding down the pale path leading away from it as if the night belongs to him, a lean figure in ANBU white and black, painted, unseeing fox mask in place. A hood hides the hair but the steady assured pace, neither rushed nor slow, should be familiar to anyone that knows him. He's not going anywhere, just walking after the end of a long mission, walking because it means not stopping. Walking because he's still able to. Walking because he never stops, not really. There's too much following behind that might catch up.
ooc: I give you ANBU Minato. He's in his early 20s and slightly AU. Details are in his journal but it's safe to assume that all his canon close relationships are non-existent for this AU. ...unless of course it suits your character for this AU post! So! Come find him, have him come find you, assume any relationship you'd like for the course of this thread. For shippy stuff, he's het.
