she feels alot – less heavier than before , although her shaking had decreased to a minimum of a shiver here and there. his comfort off by far is what she needed the most out of every event than wrong turn shes tripped over. “ but im scared , “ a simply terrified whimper leeched out at him , legs were weak to his soft actions
she really was just a child , “ i dont want to bother people with silly things , “ fingers pressed harder – digging into the fabric tighter , yet it was weak & frail
, “ youre warm , its – nice. “
That’s…
Quite worrisome, actually.
What had happened in his absence that shook her to her core; made her feel as if her troubles weren’t worth bringing up to the adults in her life? Her own Mother, her own Father, and somehow– Itachi as well. An attitude like this spreads, and if not handled, Sarada would be afraid of revealing any insecurity to any adult figure.
It would only severely harm her in the end.
“They aren’t silly.” Especially not being afraid, of all things.
“The reason we’re here is for you to trust us with these things.” And while Itachi was exceedingly gentle, and understanding of most– if her own parents were making her feel as if she should keep to herself, both of them were due a serious talk.
“If we make you feel like this, then we’ve failed.” As guardians and mentors.
at his little three word sentence , fingers curled into the fabric of his clothing – face softly nuzzled in closer to him. Silence is not a friendly hand to her , nor will it ever be so ; “ im , sorry “ she ought to apologise. burdening him with her – selfish need for this sort of attention.
“There’s no need for that.” She was his niece– Sasuke’s child. There was no possible way she could burden him, no matter the triviality or grievousness of her feelings. Children needed attention, even if this is something Itachi realized too late for himself.
The same is not permissible for his dear, dear niece.
Rhythmically, he rocks her, settling his chin atop her head.
“You can always come to me.” He will always be here.
shes hesitant but – given a minute she has a soft little embrace / cling onto him , though shes trembling all over.
“I have you.” This entire situation seems like it’s been dredged for far too long. Perhaps now was the time to relax, to think things through and to let things go.
He’s not just going to let her get away with cursing like that.
“I have. Children say all sorts of things.” Curse words weren’t really among Itachi’s vocabulary either, but there was no reason to take what a child says to heart like that.
