the empire (of puppies) strikes back
11-21-2020, 04:02 PM
Hattori stood beside the empress, just beneath her stone dias, his ears tipped forward as he listened to her echoing howl. He knew his howl carried little weight around here and that suited him just fine, contrary to what many likely thought he had no desire to steal the Ashen throne for himself. Venom's word was law and he would enforce it with an iron paw if need be. He looked on straight ahead, his posture tight and proper and only glanced away when he felt the prickle of Venom's attention. It was a sensation he was used to and he responded in turn with a brief dip of his head, reverent as ever. But there was a gleam in his eye, like sunlight shining of cold steel. They weren't exactly acquaintances anymore but their slightly more personal nature of their relationship was left on the back burner for now. Hattori had his eyes on the prize.
Though this would mostly be a laid back affair Hattori wished to set a precedent, and if nothing else she'd have a few good shows to watch. Figure out what pups were worth keeping an eye on, pressing to bring out their fullest potential.
