Tashi was silent when Maki regarded his parents, he himself was silent and added for melancholy. Nor he said anything regarding living in world where shinobi did not need live as they did nor world without shinobi. To his eyes it was distant dream, perhaps outright impossible but it's nice dream none the less. He was surprised by sudden closeness of Maki and her touching his cheek and then turning around suddenly. Unsure how read that gesture.<br/><br/>Seeing her look on her burned fingers in her both hands. Tashi rised behind her, his hands reaching from behind her to touch her hands, thumbs gently sliding over her burned fingers and feel Tashi lean on her shoulder and feel breath in her ear; "Do they still hurt? You could use more salve on these if you want." Clouded by genuine concern for his mentor figure he was not quite aware how very close he was with Maki. Make her feel his presence gently press her back, feel the gentle stroking of her fingers or how his voice caressed her ear. He's young man indeed, but he has a fully grown man's body. A body which was more hard trained and muscular than anyone's else. A raw power which so yet gently caressed her fingers carefully to test her feel on them.
