3rd person pov:
"Shinobu..."
"Yes uzui?" The female answered, turning around to face the tall giraffe.
"Shinazugawa's..." He mumbled, pointing at his colleague whom was standing alone, "did he injure his wrist?"
"The bandages?"
"Yeah"
"I think so. I asked him if he wanted me to help him treat it but he said it was just a sprain" The insect hashira replied, bitting her lip as she observed the silent behaviour of the wind hashira. Sanemi stood alone under the sheltered gate, using the excuse of wanting to be in a shaded area to escape the conversation among friends. He used to be noisy, a loud and expressive man who was always social during small gatherings but it has been a while since he had last made small talk with the others. It was certainly unusual - and very concerning - to see him behave in such a weird manner.
The incest hashira bit get lip harder, shaking her head as she tried her best to get rid of those assumptions. She had her speculations, and she hoped they weren't the answer to his weird behaviour.
"But shinobu, isn't he getting injured too often?" The sound hashira mumbled.
"Why do you think so?"
"This is his fourth time having a bandage around his wrist these 3 months. He didn't go on any missions yesterday, I visited him in the evening and his wrist were fine. It's only the next day but his wrist are heavily bandaged. Furthermore, the wrist.."
"The wrist is a weird place to get injured so many times right?"
Uzui nodded.
"So you think so too huh?" The female sighed.
"It's hard not to assume that"
"...that's true" shinobu mumbled, turning around to face the pond which houses koi fishes, "he should be fine, although..." she muttered to herself with her voice dying off at the end. She gulped heavily, taking in a deep breath to calm herself down.
She knew shinazugawa wasn't doing well, especially after the time sanemi had asked her for painkillers and sleeping pills. She was hesitant to give the medicine to the scarred male - even after him reassuring her that he would be fine and his body was just aching from his daily training which was brought worse by his slight insomnia - and such a combination of pills can easily lead to death.
"Although?"
"It's nothing.." she smiled.
"Is he really fine?"
"Probably.." the female whispered, crouching down whilst tenderly twirling a blade of grass around her finger.
She hoped she made the right decision on not disclosing such private information, but what if this decision ended up leading to sanemi's death?
Uzui could be shinazugawa's little emotional support since he was a friend, furthermore, he might be able to stop shinazugawa from doing something stupid. Uzui could be a great help to the scarred male, but would sanemi like that?
