ruled by secrecy

Hanako hummed, he'd been far from gentlemanly with her. Maybe it was just the stress coming into play or his desire to flex at his pack borders but their meeting made Hanako feel as though there was a chance that Malalia didn't know the real him. That he'd put on a good and proper show just so he could win his way into the Reaper's good graces.

"It really felt that way, they both gave me a lecture about etiquette and pointed out how lacking I was. It didn't really feel like they were trying to help me or anything like that, they just wanted to make a point. Or a power play." Hanako knew it was a bunch of rubbish anyway, she'd been given more training than they could even dream of. Their perception of etiquette and respect was so skewed she wondered if they could even see straight. "They didn't ask about her, she only insisted that she was: Not. Here." She repeated, mimicking Aurielle's emphasis on the words. "Aurielle said they'd help us in any way they can but..." The Wraith shrugged, She'd let Sirius decide whether she actually meant it or not, whether The Spirit was simply saying it from atop her lofty moral high ground. "I think if I'd gotten in they would have watched my every movement and doubted everything I said. We're just so untrustworthy, you know?"

"She just seemed to think that you're suspicious and just using Malalia as an excuse. She made a point that under no circumstances should I report back to you about the packs resources and members, implying it had been your true intention all long." Like she was terrified of being raided. Maybe in her attempt to avoid such a fate she'd brought it that much closer.

"Mmm. I think...they seemed very entitled about it all, as if even speaking to me was a favour to you. A honour even. Cairo even mentioned Mortis and said that he ought to have been the one to call at their borders, not me."
