Hattori watched, his gaze both curious and intense, as Venom took her first sip of sake. He knew he was a woman of grace and propriety, but he wouldn't have held it against her if the taste had been too much for her senses. But it seemed as though his concerns were for nought, as she quickly swallowed it down without even a wince. His ears instinctively tipped forward to draw in the sound of her laughter and he nodded as he drew the flask back into his grasp, tempted to take another sip. His palette had been wetted and whilst he'd never admit as much once he started drinking good sake it was quite difficult to stop. Not that anyone ever had tried to cut him off, given that so many had made offhand comments that he was so much more agreeable when he had a belly full of sake

"Naturally." He rumbled, though he suspected that Venom already knew that. She was neither a fool or blind, other's might not be able to gauge his intent but but she could.

His service wasn't quite as black and white as it used to be, Hattori couldn't pinpoint the moment but they'd strayed into the grey and despite himself he had no inclination to turn back now. If ever. They were at the point that he didn't even need to be ordered anymore, without prompting he went out of his way time and time again to serve her best interests. Every time he ventured from Ashen's lands it was to better himself and whilst he had no doubt come a long way since their meeting there was still plenty of work to be done. By spring Ashen would be reborn anew. He wanted nothing more than for Venom to be content, to know that even without his company and service her empire would thrive and grow. As it was meant to be.

He took a prolonged drink and pulled back with a muted, but satisfied sigh. The more he drank the better it tasted, but he was not greedy and nudged it over to Venom once more.

"But I do not think you have cause for concern. I have ordered you back to your chambers once before and I am willing to do so again." He reminded her, his gaze level and sure, oblivious to how his words may come across.
