the NINJAS might have seen him today , scurrying about in the shadows . while admittedly poor at the stealth game , all that mattered was he stayed out of his liege’s sight for a couple of hours .
searching the marketplace for a FITTING gift had been , in no other words , hell . nothing seemed worthy of the man he looked up to , the prince he would willingly risk his life for . oboro always did have the upper hand in such cases , with her skills and talents ... him ? well . there were other things he was known for . & he had very nearly bought out EVERY STALL until an idea dawned upon him ...
he’s silent as he creeps from behind , holding his breath until he’s close enough to tackle . ❛ HAPPY BIRTHDAY , LORD TAKUMI !!!! you didn’t think i’d forget , did you ? ❜ hinata laughs , looping an arm around his shoulder to steer the other in the direction of the surprise FIGHT staged in his honor , where all would battle for the best prize of all - his respect . ( and as for all those trinkets he had splurged on today ? ) ❛ haha , just wait ‘till you see what’s out there ! AND...i even thought of a PARTY GAME ! i got a whole bunch of neat stuff and i threw ‘em in a tub so we can go BOBBING for PRESENTS ! isn’t that FUN ? ❜ / @unwaken
