Kuromaru tipped his head to see, and carefully gathered himself for a following leap down.
"Don't land on her," Tsume said wryly from not too far away.
He gave his human familiar an unimpressed look, but changed his trajectory. Before... everything, he'd have been able to leap without a thought. Now, with his chakra moving sluggishly and still weak from his hospital stay, he was a little more careful. Paws as large as a human's hand stepped up and down in place before he was sure he was coiled just right.
Nearly two hundred pounds of wolf-dog-demon-canine didn't land lightly so much as gracefully. He turned, single ear pricking toward the woman on the ground. "That wasn't terribly ninja-like," he said disapprovingly. "You could have hurt yourself."
"She's in ANBU, Kuromaru," Tsume said dryly. "I'm sure she doesn't need ninja lessons from you."
He had to swivel his whole head to look at Tsume, on his other side. "She fell out of a tree!"
Tsume shrugged. "She doesn't have claws. Probably much harder to stay in without them." Tsume held out one hand, bracing her feet as she offered to help the woman up. |
