Hattori watched the waves for a long and lingering moment before his gaze wandered to the archipelago, with each island so very different from the last. Could he walk away from Ashen? Yes, undoubtedly so. But that didn't mean he wanted to, that whether he liked it or not he had formed a some sort of attachment to this place and to the Empress that sat by his side. The prospect of remaining here was not an unpleasant one, even with the end of his contract looming overhead there was still much to do be done and he'd never been the sort to live a job unfinished. But where would the new line be drawn? Their relationship, once propriety permitted it, would surely come to a head and he wasn't quite sure-

Ah.

To be frankly honest this was not the first marriage proposal he had received, if you could even call it that. Usually he swatted the request aside with such a blatant lack of interest that it was enough to stop most families from pushing the matter further but this time was different. It was....he did not find the idea displeasing. From an impersonal, political point of view he saw that there was much he could gain from this arrangement, but was that all this would amount to? A cold and unfeeling marriage, not unlike the one his mother was trapped in? But Venom, for one reason or another, desired him to the extent where she was willing to put it out in the open like this. Words that could not be taken back, even if she wished it were so.

"I see." He said, it wasn't as if he was in a position to say much else.
