Prompt from Stella Mira's Soundtrack Challenge #5: You Shall Overcome

Sesshomaru looked down at the miko’s bent head while she cried silently. He could smell the salt of her tears, saw how shaken she was by her ordeal. It was not weakness he saw when he gazed down at her. As he had done with Rin occasionally, he lifted his hand to rest on the back of her head. “You did well.”

She stilled in shock.

“Though surrounded by stronger enemies, you fought bravely. You did not cower in fear and give in without a fight. Be proud of your courage, miko. This Sesshomaru sees no fault in your actions.”
