Fugaku felt the small hand on his sleeve, giving just enough support to catch himself and cover the stumble. It was a very clever move, practiced and smooth. Fugaku looked down at the small girl and was not surprised to see it was Ami.

Fugaku didn't smile, but he nodded back gravely to the girl in a way that could be interpreted as forgiveness or thanks. "There is nothing to forgive," Fugaku said. He didn't pat Ami on the head, because he'd rather not make like of the maturity she'd shown. Fugaku would have to make sure to mention this incident to Shisui.
