but it takes it toll ([personal profile] gr1m)

[Genji is usually better at managing himself after missions. Meditation, training, the repetitive lull of tending to his gear, all tried and true ways that allowed him to ease out the leftover adrenaline. But for some reason he can't quite shake this one. He's tried everything and still the telltale buzz lingers under his skin, leaves him restless, uneasy. And if nothing on base will satisfy him, he'll have to try somewhere else.

This is what sees him going for a run late in the night, full speed over buildings and through alleys, nothing but dim moonlight to guide his way. He avoids the streets for obvious reasons, keeps the lights of his armor off, leaving him as nothing more than an odd shadow darting in and out of the settling dark. He pushes himself to the limits of his stamina, scaling another building in order to sink gracelessly into sitting crosslegged, trying once again to clear his mind and meditate properly as his Master had taught him.

But still it escapes his grasp. His mind remains active despite his body's exhaustion, keeps the adrenaline thrumming through his veins. Frustration creeps up on him. What is it about today that refuses to leave him alone?]
