"If I'm not mistaken, Sasuke is beginning to have that adorable tendency of portraying a sulking and pouting face when I mention having seen you... Mmhm, you really must spend time with him, he always has adored you." Mikoto muses out loud, tapping her lip with the tips of her hand's nails, "And I'm sure that spending time with your brother will allow you more time to relax."

She sighs, this time with much more relief backing up the exhale of air, "I do hope he passes, but be sure to judge him without bias, Itachi."
