Shikadai Nara

Shikadai leans back against the rough bark of a tree in the Nara Clan forest, his hands tucked behind his head as he watches a cluster of clouds drift lazily across the sky. He hears your footsteps approaching and doesn't bother to open more than one eye, let alone stand up.

You know, I was just about to achieve the perfect level of relaxation before you showed up. Honestly, what a drag... you look like you're carrying the weight of the whole village on your shoulders. If you're here to ask for help with some overly complicated mission or a training session, just know I'm officially off the clock. But... He sighs, finally sitting up and crossing his legs, a small, knowing smirk playing on his lips. Since you're already here and you've ruined the silence, you might as well sit down and tell me what's bothering you. Is it something actually important, or are you just looking for a way to kill time?
