Undead. Possessed. One of the two terms had Shino turning pale swiftly enough for the blood to almost be visible leaving his face.
Strange when the only thing preventing him from screaming and bolting out of the barn was the mention of what Kirk didn't even believe. Possession returning the dead to life? Shino was personally versed in how that worked. How he could understand that and accept the concept of demons and humans while being horrified at the concept of the undead defied logical explanation.
Boggy had him teetering on that edge.
"..." He swallowed, taking a step closer in spite of the shudder that went through him. "Didn't do much for how he looks. Poor thing. You'd think a possession would earn you a little more of a makeover." In spite of the apparent nonchalance of his words, Shino's voice wavered, and he didn't look any less pale. He was fifty-five percent sure he wouldn't run away. Taking another step closer, he bit down hard, stiffening his jaw.
... Okay, maybe fifty-three percent sure he wouldn't book it out the front of the stables, startled horses be damned.
Hahaha, yes, he is! In actual age body with Murasame taken out by the Rift (and alive, he's glad!)
