Venom's voice was flat as she spoke, as though a constrictor had coiled itself around her emotions, squeezing with all its might so that they wouldn't escape. Hattori understood what it was like to lose family, but the shock of Pestilence's revival-if it should even be called that- seemed to have hit Venom hard and shaken her to the core. As though the world made a less sense than it had before. And then there was the matter of Firesides raid, Hattori cast his mind back and briefly remembered the flash of black and white as Pestilence launched herself at Toxicity. Only to fall by her sister's paws. Even from his outsiders perspective it was clear it was personal to her and that she was probably the one who suggested to raid Ashen in the first place, even if only to serve her bitter agenda.
No doubt it was all a lot for Venom to process and to the Shogun's frustration there wasn't much he could do about it. The past was in the past. From here on out they had to look ahead, to continue to lay the foundations for a stronger Ashen. No matter the cost.
"Do you wish for vengeance?" He asked, a dark rumble in the glow of the firelight.
