an early start

Hattori didn't have to search for long. The first pup he came across was far too busy to pay him any attention just yet, chewing away at a lizard with his pinprick teeth. Though the shinobi's memories of his childhood were few and far between he imagined he'd acted in a similar manner, overly eager to put his pinprick teeth to use on whatever he could get his paws on. Be it dead or alive he likely chewed it. But that was about where their similarities ended, Hattori had stolen a brief glance at Hela and it was quite clear to see that this little one didn't take much after his mother. The streaks of blue that slashed his coat were vibrant, reminding the shinobi of the glowing firefly squid that sometimes washed ashore back in his homeland.
He didn't introduce himself or intrude of the boys chewing fest and had rather intended to push on but the second pup that entered the scene was clearly the talkative sort. Or perhaps it was a little early to expect manners just yet, she would learn in time. Of that he'd make sure. Despite himself his nose twitched, as though he wanted to wrinkle it. Hattori turned and cast his slate gaze down, it was cold but not unkind. In terms of looks she was a grey smudge, as though she'd rolled around in volcanic ash and her eyes were a sharp blue. As though she'd snatched the colour from her siblings pelt. They were only children after all, and if nothing else they were Venom's cousins. He wouldn't coddle them but he had no reason to be cruel either, not that he had a taste of those sorts of things.
"Hattori." He answered with an open level of disinterest."Ashen's shinobi." And then he paused, as if remembering something. He'd briefly mentioned this to the empress before, he didn't imagine she'd take issue with him pushing this ahead. He cut to the chase. "Soon there will be a fight training session for the Empire's newest additions. I expect you both to be there."
