Sirius paused in their patrol and Azure was only a step behind in noticing the call. On any normal day a howl at the border would for the most part pass by his notice, those duties in answering a rogue belonged to his father and mother alone. One torn ear twitched in irritation as the tone of the call came through, a further reminder to Azure of his lesser rank. If he'd accepted Venom's offer, he could be out answering summons at Ashen instead of following behind the Armada Warlord.

He pushed down his irritation, returning his father's smile. The last time Sirius had taken him to the borders to meet a call it had been Aurielle, and Azure recognized now that he was just a little bit out of line in how he spoke to her. He'd try his best to behave, though hopefully his father wouldn't hold it against him for lashing out again if the caller took offense to Az's presence. "This should be interesting." He muttered, following Sirius' lead and already silently considering a witty response to any comment on the weight of Azure's words.

Seeing the warrior brought Azure great pause and he turned his head sharply to his father, a sort of 'are-you-seeing-this?' expression upon his face. His long strides faltered, his jaw clenching tight and his teeth audibly grinding into each other in his struggle to hold his tongue. He looked like Hanako. The pattern was unmistakable even if this man's oranges did not share her brilliant white backdrop. It was not ideal to have Sirius standing here beside him now, for if this was one of her keepers he'd be given too much opportunity to flee while the warlord and his son argued over who deserved to slit his throat. Az remained silent while the Warlord gave his introduction, his cold gaze locked upon Hattori's own.
