[Sheena's the same way--keeping things bottled up and hidden away so people won't worry about her; although that's not why she's forgiven Barnaby. She truly feels that he had done the right thing in order to keep with his principle of protecting others. Now he just has to forgive himself.
She isn't totally unscathed by what had happened, but she feels that Barnaby has suffered worse than she has--by doing the very thing he had never done before. Not once, but twice...
And to the same person.
She can only imagine how hard that must be for him, but her worries are abated slightly at the appearance of that smile. It's small, almost hidden by the angle of his head, but it's honest, and it's there, and it gives her the feeling that his healing has truly begun.
And once more, the ninja envelops him in an embrace, hopefully giving that healing the boost it needs.]
