Venom seemed pleased by his words. He'd never seen her as self absorbed or the sort to get swayed by compliments and praise, but here she was savouring his compliment-if you could call it that- with a smirk. Perhaps it was because she was used to hearing this sort of talk, that they were treading down a well worn path in her eyes, but Hattori meant what he said. But maybe not. Her expression shifted, far removed from the cunning smile she'd worn during their first meeting, and she seemed genuinely appreciative. At first he'd found the flicking of her tongue a little odd, uncanny almost, but now he realised that it was one of her most obvious tells. Her expression, for the most part, said little but her tongue spoke volumes. She shifted and his gaze snapped to the soft slip of her leg, long and lithesome. He recalled her being very swift on her paws and thought it was a shame it would be likely be a season or so before she could do so again. But now that he was looking again it was hard to stop, to shove aside that matter and maintain his calm, stoic composure. He made it look far easier than it was.
"I am not opposed to that notion. You are a fine woman." Which...hm. It was true and he meant what he said but he wasn't exactly sure what inspired him to say as much. Perhaps the situation was getting to him more than he'd like.
