                   A glad smile settled over her features, causing optics to scrunch up in delight. “———Ahhh, I’m glad, Sakura-san!!”

                   Hinata had always valued the Haruno as an older sister —- or perhaps someone to mold herself after. She had always been so strong and brave, and such an inspiration to the timid heiress!! Of course, she had always held the childish fear that the other would reject her or see her as nothing. But again and again, that fear was disproved and pushed to the back of her psyche —- the roseate was as welcoming as ever.

                   “Green tea—-that’s m-my favourite!! Shall we head out now?”

            ^{With an even brighter smile gracing her lips, viridian optics glistened with utter delight. Vision remaining focused upon her fellow companion’s visage.}

            ^{Such encounters were genuine between the pair. Whenever they both came across paths in public, the roseate would never pass up the opportunity to strike up a conversation with Hinata. She always had been put in astonishment and awestruck from the abilities she so seemingly developed during the past few years as a shinobi. Sometimes it even made Sakura question if she trained just as hard herself.}

         ^{"Ah, yes of course!“ With a brief nod, footing would pace all but a few inches forward. Smile still in tact before she pivoted her crown slightly.} 

                              ^{"Shall we?”}
