Scouting ahead

Once again Hattori wandered from Ashen's borders and moved south at a swift but controlled lope. He wasn't much of a fan of water but the hiss of the ocean called to him, as did the dark gleam of Obsidian Beach. His paws, despite their large size, barely made a sound as he passed across the sand, his iron gaze set on the horizon. Given the scenic nature of this place he imagined loners and pack wolves alike visited it often, and thus he wasn't all that surprised when he noticed a dark shape ahead. She was smaller than himself by a considerable margin, with pointed ears and an odd shaped tail, as though it was often curled. He would have thought nothing of her canine nature, had it not been for the fact that her breed looked awfully familiar. Just like the curled tailed hounds that roamed his homeland. What were the chances of encountering one here?
He stepped forth, his curiosity mounting as the dog finally noticed his presence. He wasn't usually the sort to start a conversation, much preferred to remain silent if possible, but given the circumstances he did so without thought.
"Are you from Nippon?" He rumbled, his native language rolling off his tongue with comfortable, if not practiced ease.
*italic means he's speaking in Japanese. Nippon is the Japanese word for Japan.*
