[She hadn’t expected it. Sesshomaru had embraced her once before, but that... that had been a far different day, afraid and grief stricken by the sudden ghostly disappearance of her husband. Then, she had clutched at him like a lifeline, desperate for someone wiser and stronger to assure her that somehow, everything would be alright.
But now... ? A little confused, but not at all against the idea, Konoha returns the hug, dark hands a stark contrast to the pure whites of his clothing and fur where she wraps her arms around him. He smells... well, okay, not good, canine probably couldn’t smell good to anyone with equine sensibilities, but. It’s a scent she’s come to associate with safety and comfort, and she starts to smile-
Until he opens his mouth.
Shocked, Konoha pulls back a little, brow furrowing and searching his face for the reason he would say such a thing. Had she made it sound like she’d ratted him out? Or- Had it seems like she preferred them to him?]
No way-
[How could she ever side against him, or pretend as if she didn’t know him after everything?]
I just wanted to warn you in case they didn’t listen to me... I’m not choosing their side!
[One of them had given her hope in a moment she’d had little, and she enjoyed his company... but it wasn’t comparable at all. Even if they were strong, even if it came to conflict... She can only shake her head in physical rejection of the idea that she ought to side against him, fingers tightening a bit in his clothing.]
