Why did this matter so much to Azure? "She may, in the condition that you are responsible for her." If this girl was the key to his compassion, Sirius would take that gift and use it. "Here is a chance to earn yourself a spot in the coming raid" no need to tell him he already had one. He liked to keep his cuildren on their toes. Let him think that if he wished for it, he must earn it. "Teach Hanako the basics, get her fighting fit in the week we have, so she may be a part of those that will defend the territory well we are away." He looked to his son, serious, as he bestowed this responsibility upon him. If would be a lesson for the both of them, no doubt.

He turned back to Hanako. "Azure will help you pick out a den, some bedding, ensure you have something to eat, and show you our written pack laws. No one under my rule is mistreated, but they are expected to work for their place in this pack." He explained, his voice softening for a moment. She was his now. If her 'wardens' returned, he would not be giving her back.
