That was, of course, until they'd found that boy.
Something had been wrong with his legs, his face. And he'd moved so fast, crawling towards them with a tiny, gaping mouth and making horrible sounds that set Sasuke's hair on end. He hadn't even had time to think--he simply froze, and then ran as fast as he could ( ... )

"Sasuke?" Not that her legs weren't smarting from the unexpected reintroduction to him, but concern over her child who was running in such blind panic as to be barreling head-first into his mother's knees (or any strangers, he hadn't expected it to be hers) had her even further on alter. She pitched her voice reassuring and steady, frowning as she looked back the way he had come. "It's all right, you're okay. What's scared you so badly?"
Her hand fell to his head, a gentle pressure to keep him close. Everything was looking increasingly dire, if she admitted (privately, lips thinning as she tensed and then told herself to relax, for Sasuke's sake) she still didn't have enough information to know how dire dire really was.

"There are monsters. Nii-san and Shisui-kun are here. Shisui-kun and I--" He broke off for a moment, guilt written all over his face as he temporarily stared down at his bare feet. "...Shisui-kun and I got attacked. ...I ran away." Like a coward.
That was why he was tugging a little insistently at his mother's hand, now. "I have to go back for him! I have to make sure he's okay!"

Itachi would kill him if something happened to the kid.
"Sasuke!" He came around the corner fast, nearly Shunshin, skidding to the stop as he automatically reached for the child. It took him a moment to realize realized just who it was holding him. His brain froze, hand still half extended to take the child.
Itachi killed you.
Notyetnotyetnotyet. It's over and done for Itachi but it's not done yet.
His single eye spun, body frozen as he tried to process what her presence meant for his plans. He swallowed several times before he managed to speak, body folding in a bow. "Mikoto-sama. I apologize, I did not realize it was you. Sasuke-kun slipped away from me for a moment and I was attempting to assure his safety."

So very meekly, Toboe peeked around the corner, willing himself to appear as a human to get a better look. Well, she would make for the first human he saw who wasn't carrying a gun...

Unknown situations and circumstances didn't call for undue agitation.
"You may as well come out," she said evenly. "I see you."
And she wanted answers, if this shy person had them. There were things Mikoto needed to know.

And thus out steps the visage young boy, no older than perhaps fifteen. Though it truly was only a visage. He was still worried to walk around as wolf without the illusion of a human up.
"H-hello...."
