race me! race me!

Hanako deflated a little when he got right down to business. Azure and Sirius hadn't asked for an explanation so she'd assumed that Mortis wouldn't either, but she supposed he was different and that she really shouldn't try to paint them all with the same brush. She chewed on her bottom lip as she thought about it, wondering what conclusions the other Fatalis' had come to since...well, Hanako knew it sounded a little odd to those unfamiliar with the concept. But it was her normal and having to explain it all sort of suggested it wasn't, which left her chest feeling strangely tight. Like someone was stepping on her till it was hard to breathe. Regardless, Hanako was convinced that Mortis was worrying over nothing, it was all fine and her Keepers had never given her a reason to feel otherwise.

"You know, they kept me safe and well. Till someone was willing to cover the cost to make an honest woman of out me." She shrugged, to her it was no big deal."There's no rush anyway since they're really fussy about getting the right fit. " Hanako suspected that was an excuse to shop around for higher offers, but she'd never say as much. They knew best after all and to be honest she did sort of like the idea of marrying someone who was willing to put it all on the line for her, as vain as that no doubt seemed.

She turned to him then with a quizzical look, her brow raised. It didn't have to be confusing or complicated unless Mortis made it so, the ball was in his court.
