Venom had been gone for quite some time. Hattori's brows drew together as he strode along the border, with each new assignment and contract he was quick to adopt habits, to follow his master or mistress from the shadows. Just to make sure all was well. If she had noticed him do so then Venom hadn't said as much, but the fact she'd slipped past made him suspect that she knew. And that was fine, he served her and not the other way around but his sense of intuition had always been pin prick sharp and for reasons he couldn't quite understand he had a feeling something was amiss. And then he heard a squawk from above and he broke out into a dash as his eagle swooped down to his level to quickly offer him a report in clumsy, rushed Japanese. Nearby border. Wounded. Empress.
And then Hattori was running as fast as his paws would allow, thudding against the earth. It didn't take long to find her, curled up on the ground as tight as she could manage. He couldn't see her face or eyes, both tucked away and hidden in the fluff of her coat and he turned to his bird once more, his words sharp and fluid in his native tone. His expression was grim. Fetch a medic. Quick. Then the bird was off, soaring in the skies above before dive bombing off into the distance, beneath the tree line. Before he could even think of going to her, comforting Venom as best he could, he scanned his surroundings with slightly bared teeth. There were no immediate threats in the area and her state of exhaustion implied that she had travelled some way, with great suffering, to get here. He let his guard down just a little, knowing his cat was watching from the shadows still and finally stepped in close with slow and measured steps. He hunkered down to her level, folding his limbs so that he could crouch beside her and when he spoke his words were a hushed rumble. For her ears only.
"Venom. I am here."
