[Minato had known about Orochimaru's sickness, and even of Anko's trials, but his respect for her grows as he sees her dream, because underneath the flustered young woman he had first seen, there's a strong, willful survivor.]
You're a very strong woman, Anko. [Minato smiles softly--a fellow ninja voicing his admiration of his comrade. He's not nearly close enough to her to try to personally empathize with her, nor comfort her--that would be presumptuous, he feels.]
As for Pain, do not engage him. [This time, it's the Yondaime speaking.]

[ Minato's praise makes Anko's cheeks glow, the only way that praise does when spoken by a truly admired leader. He'd died only months after her personal tragedy. Maybe it had just been one of those years.
And he was right. ]
Yes, Yondaime-sama. [ She's seated, so she inclines her head. Mental note: research etiquette re:Hitomi. ]
Good. I know this--[Pain, his goading, the entire situation]--is rather trying, but please have patience. At least, until we have a better idea of everything. [Minato speaks to soften the command.]

Don't be! You didn't do anything.
[ Kids are special, and Anko hopes she hasn't overly worried one right now. ]
Hey...what's your name, anyway?

I'm Okuzaki Akira.

Better eat something. You look pale. You live around Konoha? I could bring you something. You're too skinny.

That was all a long time ago. I'm not bleeding or anything. [ awkward grin ] So what's there to worry about?

It's on your mind, so maybe something about it started to bother you recently. Forgive my intrusion. It just seemed like you were upset.
