Hanako hummed yet again, relieved to hear that. Of course she'd been curious and had wanted to pry into what had really gone on but even Hanako had the sense to keep her nose out of it. Regardless of her rank in the pack it wasn't her place to wiggle into the middle of drama and ask "oh hey guys what's up?" It was all above her pay grade and even if it wasn't Hanako would have felt a tad guilty about it all. Say if she was having some relationship problems she wouldn't want the whole world to know about it, it was basic common decency and maybe Hanako had sort of forgotten about it somewhere down the road. When Zee went onto comment about her budding friendship with Mortis Hanako's smile softened a little, as it so often did when she thought about the affectionately nicknamed "nasty winged creature."
"Mmm, him and Azure have been really good to me. Helped me feel at home in no time at all." She wiggled a little at that, her affections as clear as day. Zee's next question was equally as gentle and whilst Hanako could have offered a white lie she saw no reason to. "He said there was an argument and that he heard some yelling. I told him not to worry so much about it but..." She trailed off with a shrug, it was like telling a fish not to swim.
Speaking of she moved onto her next prize, yet another fish with its eyes glazed over with a deathly white. Tucking in, she licked the mess from her maw as she considered her next words. The question that pranced into her mind was a bit of an odd one, almost taboo, but she couldn't help but feel a sharp stab of panic at the thought of never having it answered. Of forever being left in the dark. But how on earth was she supposed to ask it in a cool and casual way? It wasn't the sort of thing you just asked someone out of the blue, it held heavy connotations and Hanako didn't want to seem as though- Well...maybe if she framed it in an innocent day-dreamy sort of way? Cause that's all it was, right? Just a young girl with idle curiosities, wanting to know about things she didn't understand. Yep yep, for sure!
"Weird question but...what's it like to be in love?"Gah even posed like that it came across as off, out of nowhere. "It's just...where I come from you don't marry for love and I don't really... get it? Makes me feel like I'm broken or something." Hanako kicked the fish away and watched it skitter away. Oof.
