sad wife, unhappy life

*Hanako* · 08-24-2022, 05:27 PM

Hanako shot a pout his way, tail flicking in obvious annoyance. But she supposed this was better than more scathing accusations, a little closer to what they ought to have, what felt right between them. Except of course things could never be easy with him. When had her loyalty come into question? If it was a true issue they both know Sirius would have stomped down on it by now, that he was just bringing it up to be petty. Because he didn't want to admit he was wrong, he'd been flinching at shadows, only to get mad when his bite hit nothing but empty air.

She paused then, unable to stop her tail wagging in a happy little swish at the news of his promotion. Hanako knew it had been a time coming, realised long ago he was far better suited for the throne than his soft brother. But then the reality of his words truly settled in, the intent to hold her back at a distance, to keep on punishing her for crimes she hadn't committed in the first place. Her tail fell limp.

"Is that it? You're just gonna dump that on me and walk away like it doesn't mean anything? Like I didn't know you'd achieve this from the start." He knew she'd always been in his corner, to act to the contrary was ridiculous. She sucked in a breath through gritted teeth, then forced her expression to smooth out. Diplomatic, a mask she'd no longer need. "Very well, Warlord. Congratulations, truly."
