[At some point during the afternoon, as you walk across the town or through well-used paths in the fringes of the forest, you may feel as if you're being watched.

Yes. You.

A fleeting shadow, the feeling of eyes following your every move, the feeling that you can't shake a follower. You know the one. It makes the hair at the nape of your neck stand on end. Makes you paranoid and jumpy. Or maybe just amused. Annoyed. Whatever it does, it's there.

Temari's not trying too hard to stay unseen. It's less training and more something to do. You might turn around and see a ninja standing behind you. Maybe she's touching down next to you. Maybe you're attacking. (She won't like that much, to be honest, but maybe that's how you respond to being watched.)

There's a ninja stalking you. What do?]

[deathsdoctor]

Thanks. [He's grateful. There's hardly a place in these woods you can go for for solitude without having a person home onto you like a cruise missile.]

It's Miss Temari, right? We've never been actually introduced. I'm Law.

[dangerouswind]

Just Temari is fine. Nice to officially meet. I've seen you around a few times.

[deathsdoctor]

Gotcha.

[Chuckling] Pestering Shikamaru for a match, right?

[dangerouswind]

[Her lips quirk.] Usually. He knows I watch his comings and goings.

[deathsdoctor]

Aa. [Totally not surprised. Tis a ninja habit. That Law possesses himself, even before that experiment.] Sensible, that. Everyone needs someone watching out for them.

[dangerouswind]

He might disagree. [She's amused, though. Shikamaru is more likely to be annoyed by it than anything else.

... That's why she does it.]

[deathsdoctor]

[Laughing.] He might. Troublesome and all that.

Though he could use a little more 'troublesome' in his life at times. It's good for him.

[dangerouswind]

[Also laughing.] Don't let him hear you say that. You'd think it'd be too troublesome to argue the point, but he will.

[deathsdoctor]

True that. [Knowing smile.] And keep at it.

[dangerouswind]

You'd think it'd be less troublesome to let it go.

[deathsdoctor]

It would, but Shikamaru wouldn't be Shikamaru if he did.
