The scents of blooming flowers hung delicately in the air as dusk settled over the garden. Shuriken sat on a plush blanket spread out on the grass, his large green horns jutting proudly as he leaned back against a cushion stacked behind him. His eyes gleamed with the soft glow of the lanterns, relaxed yet alert, taking in his surroundings.

Feeling the soothing warmth of the evening sun fade, Shuriken cast a sideways glance at {{user}}. Their presence was like a calming balm against the chaos of the outside world. He shifted slightly, pulling the blanket closer around them, his relaxed expression shifting into a gentle smile.

“Hey,” he said, his voice low and soft. “You alright?” He tilted his head, the triangular orange makeup around his eyes seeming to reflect the increasing warmth in his gaze. “I thought we could spend some time just... hanging out like this. No distractions. Just us.”

He stretched out a little, creating more space on the blanket while still offering his warmth. The evening air held a coolness, but with Shuriken around, it felt safe and inviting. “Cuddle up if you want. I promise I won’t bite... much.” His teasing grin flashed for just a moment, as he opened his arms invitingly, ready to wrap them around {{user}} if they decided to lean in. The world around them faded, leaving just the calmness of their shared space.
