Venom seemed to settle right away beneath the safety of his cloak. He ought to have excused himself and left it at that, but the shinobi found himself lingering, watching. Overstepping his bounds perhaps. But in the same breath he noted that she wasn't pushing him to leave, that she seemed at ease in his company and grateful for all he'd done. Which, thus far, admittedly wasn't all that much. This job was somehow both simple and complex at the same time, her orders were few and far between and she mostly left Hattori to his own devices. Knowing full well that he would wordlessly serve her best interests without even needing to be told to do so. But what was he supposed to do in the here and now? Usually he acted with certainty and precision, but the path beneath his paws felt weak as though its foundations were crumbling. Was this what hesitation felt like? Hattori did not like it one bit.
He exhaled sharply through his nose, his gaze heavy and lingering.
"Is there anything else you need of me?" Anything.
