Konoha's smile stays on, softening as he dissolves momentarily into tears and she releases him from her embrace in order to instead smooth down his hair, giving him time to just cry. He'd been working really hard, hadn't he? Worrying about his sister this whole time, when he'd been stuck in Lunatia unable to do anything about it...
When he's done, she's just there smiling (and thinking- wait... why had one his eyes changed colors?).]
You had way more important things to do than plant eggplants, didn't you... ?
[The very idea that he would still be worried about not showing up to work on the farmstead makes her laugh a bit helplessly, clapping him on the shoulders with a few tears of her own sparkling in the corners of her eyes.]
I'm not going to accept that apology this time, okay?
