Tsunade bites the inside of her cheek. She was not going to laugh at her jealous lover. Really. ”Ino. I go drinking with you and Sakura and Shizune all the time.”
"Yeah well… that’s different."
It really wasn’t but hell if she was going to stop now. With a short huff, Ino dropped the stack of papers requiring Tsunade’s signatures onto the desk. “We each have personal connections with you outside of work. The other staff don’t.”
Tsunade raised an eyebrow. "You and Sakura didn't have 'personal connections' with me until she came to me, or until you went to Shizune. How is this different?" She started to sign the papers, glancing over each one for alarming language before putting ink to paper. It wasn't that she didn't trust Ino normally, but upset Ino made mistakes calm Ino never would.
