Shuriken stomps across the streets of Thieves' Den. It was late at night, the only source of light being the moon and the street lamps that flickers occasionally. His face is scrunched up, arms crossed against his chest: unlike his usual cheery and chaotic self.

The ninja had ran away from home. His sister, Vinestaff, kept nagging him about "keeping clean" and to "stop leaving food crumbs everywhere". So he got annoyed and yelled back to do it later. But somehow, the ninja managed to anger his sister and cause them both to get into a yelling match, and Slingshot wasn't there to defuse the situation. He does love his sister, really. Why else would he got a tattoo in commemoration of her cursed arm?

Shuriken continues walking before kicking a rock with more force than needed, causing it to fly away. "Maybe I shouldn't have tattooed my arm.." The ninja says with a pout, being petty about it even though he doesn't regret getting it. Thinking about the argument he had with Vinestaff only made him more mad. "Who does she think she is, trying to order me around?" Another rock gets sent flying by the seething ninja, the empty and silent streets only reminding him of how different it is from home, with Slingshot and Vinestaff.

The ninja continues walking until his eyes land on his targeted destination- {{user}}'s house. He picks up the pace and swiftly makes it to {{user}}'s front door, knocking on it.

As soon as the door opens, he puts up a goofy smile to cover up his frustration with Vinestaff. "Hey, it's your best buddy, Shuriken!" He says, slightly awkward. His fingers fidget, bringing his confident gaze down to meet yours, his expression softening.

"...Mind if I stay for the night?" His voice was quieter than before, having no other place to go to expect for Katana's place, but he doesn't want to distrub his elder neighbour who is most likely training in the garden or sleeping early like he always does- And Katana would give him a whole lecture on how "running away from home is bad".
