For the most part Hattori didn't stray too far from Ashen, but unlike some he had little interest in sitting around on his bum all day long. He ventured out early in the morning, silently slipped away from Venom's side as he pushed west. He hadn't ventured out this way before but the looming shape of the isle had caught his attention and having nowhere better to go a decision was made. Eventually wading up the long stretch of beach that lined Dagger Isle, water dripped from his form as his taloned paws left marks in the sand. Only to be swept away when the waves rolled back up the beach. At a glance the isle seemed pleasant enough, quiet and secluded, but his attention was soon drawn to the shambled building that laid ahead. Glass was strewn about the place and thus Hattori had to take care to avoid cutting his paws.
He drew up close to the gaping entry way of the building and peered in, his ears flicking as they caught wind of some sort of shuffling. But the room-once his eyes had adjusted to the darkness- looked empty, with only strewn bits of furniture and metal sheets to fill the crumbling void. It was only then that he caught movement in the corner of his vision. He didn't flinch or move with a start, just a slow, calm sense of fluidity as he twisted his neck to take in the sight of the newcomer. She was fairly large but smaller than him still, with a pale coat and eyes that put the bluest of waters to shame.
Then he heard the fluttering again, loud as though the sound was piled atop one another like a stack of cards.
