From a slightly high three-quarter angle, a slender, fragile Shinto priest boy pauses mid-step along the polished cedar corridor of an open shrine veranda. His shaggy white wolf-cut hair falls in layered strands around his jaw and nape, parted slightly around a pair of soft white fox ears that press flat back against his head in an unmistakable, exasperated droop. His crystalline light blue eyes are drawn into a weary, half-lidded side glance toward an unseen visitor just off-frame, his brow faintly furrowed and his pale lips settled into a flat, resigned line. He wears an immaculate white kimono with billowing sleeves tucked cleanly into pleated, pale sky-blue hakama trousers. His weight rests back on his right heel while both hands hold a rectangular dark-lacquered wooden tray level before his chest; his pale, slender thumbs hook securely over the tray's raised rim while his fingers press against the polished underside. Balanced on the wood sit two speckled stoneware teacups, filled with pale green tea. From beneath the pleats of his light blue hakama, a thick, bushy white fox tail curls outward, swaying lightly to his left side just clear of the timber planks. Diffused morning daylight spills inward from the courtyard garden under the veranda's eaves, casting soft shadows beneath the tray and highlighting the translucent white fur along the rims of his ears and tail. Inside the cups, wisps of translucent steam drift upward while delicate concentric ripples circle the tea's surface from the steady pause of his stride. Quiet weariness.
