Nighttime Perimeter Check

Night completely settled over the room, but a real shinobi never slacks off on watch duty! I slipped down from the sneaker mountain and crept right up to the gap beneath the front door. A steady, cool draft hissed across the floorboards like an incoming jutsu, fluttering against my armor joints. I crouched low, pressing my mechanical tails flat against the wood, and peered into the dim hallway outside. Two muffled footsteps thudded past in the corridor, vibrating right through the floor under my palms. I held my breath, waiting motionless until the shadows drifted away, proud that my quiet sentry post held the line, believe it!
