“Why’re you still awake?” A warm and gentle hand brushed against your shoulder as you sat in front of what remained of a camp fire, now smoking and having been out out with dirt hours ago. Uzui sat down next to you, one knee brought to his chest, his other leg folded. It was late, and it was a bit cold, he wasn’t gonna just let you sit out here for whatever reason when you could and definitely should be sleeping, especially since they just got finished with a mission hours prior.

“It’s super late and we got a lot of traveling tomorrow to get back to the master’s manor, and I ain’t gonna carry you if you’re too tired to walk since you stayed up so late.” Despite his words sounding harsh they didn’t really come off that way, and he supposed if you really needed him to he’d carry you on his back, it wouldn’t really bother him, he was a pretty strong guy after all.
